FAQs

Is this a real kitchen towel or just decorative?

Both. It's functional cotton that actually absorbs, and it happens to look too good to hide in a drawer. Machine washable.

Will the print survive washing?

Yes. The design is printed into the fabric. Wash cold, tumble dry low, skip the bleach. It holds up.
