Why Choose Our Cotton Tea Towels?

  • Unique Designs by Zia Living

    Our fabric design begins with an initial hand-drawn sketch, where we explore and develop the core motifs and compositions. We translate these sketches into hand-carved lino blocks, adding texture and a unique tactile quality to the design. After carving, our initial prints are created using traditional lino printing techniques to test and refine the pattern. Finally, we use modern fabric printing processes, combining the authenticity of handmade art with the precision and versatility of contemporary technology.

  • Premium Cotton

    Our tea towels are woven from 100% cotton, chosen for its exceptional absorbency and durability. Our tea towels are made to be used—and washed, again and again.

    Whether hung by the oven or tossed in with the weekly wash, they’re made to last.

Artisan Modern Printing

We use eco-friendly modern printing processes that minimise water and ink waste. This method captures fine detail and vibrant colour, bringing our designs to life on every towel. The result is a high quality, robust finish that withstands daily use and regular laundering.

Practical Features

  • Generous Size

    Our tea towels provide ample coverage for drying crockery, glassware and cookware.

  • Hanging Loop

    Each towel has a sturdy loop for convenient storage on hooks or oven handles.

  • Lint-Free Finish

    Woven and printed to reduce lint, they leave surfaces streak-free—ideal for glass and stainless steel.

Styling and Coordination

Our cotton tea towels are available in various colourways and prints. Mix and match our coastal prints or florals, and citrus to complement a country kitchen or contemporary spaces. Many of our patterns are also featured across our aprons and Aga hob covers, allowing you to curate a cohesive look.

Choosing coordinated pieces helps tie together your kitchen and home, transforming everyday chores into a pleasure.

Care Instructions

To keep your tea towels looking their best, always wash like-coloured items together at the temperature indicated on their care labels, using non-biological detergent free of whiteners or bleaches to preserve both colour and fabric integrity—if you’re handwashing, be sure your detergent is fully dissolved before you begin.

After washing, air-dry garments on a line whenever possible to prevent shrinkage, or tumble-dry at the recommended setting without over-drying, and promptly remove items at the end of the cycle to minimize creases. Finally, iron while the fabric remains slightly damp, using a steam or low-heat iron for the smoothest, most polished finish.

With proper care, your tea towels will remain absorbent and vibrant for years.
