Did you see the article in The Wall Street Journal about torchon kitchen towels?

Made with crisp linen and finished with traditional red stripes, these towels are inspired by those used in 19th-Century French households.  Today, they make for a perfect compliment to any busy kitchen and they’re great as oversized placemats. Soft, absorbent, and lint-free, these towels are as useful as they are charming.

A warm thanks to Dale Hrabi from the WSJ for featuring our Histoire de Torchon kitchen towels.  Available in an assorted set of six and bundled with a linen ribbon, we know you’ll reach for them every single day.
