Hand-Printed Artisan Tea Towel – Foglia Pink

A tea towel as beautiful as this brings joy to even the most mundane kitchen tasks. The delicate leaves and twig structures of this design conjure, for us, fond memories of autumn walks in the woods, and the fascination of playing in the fallen leaves as a child. The delicate nature of this design is reflected in the way you see it printed here – with the design applied sparingly across just part of the fabric. And the printed, straight lines then frame the leaf design, giving this tea towel a very tasteful and elegant appearance.

This delightful creation is crafted from the highest quality, pure organic, crumpled linen – which naturally has an ivory tone. It is light and soft to the touch – and is also extremely easy to use and take care of. After use, you can simply leave it to dry naturally, and it gains beauty over time as the character grows.

“Viewing life as it is, finding the instincts, dreams and longings we share in common,” says Charlotte Hjorth-Rohde, the Danish graphic designer and photographer who created l’heure bleue (the blue hour) design exclusively for AllÓRA.

Charlotte spent months in the workshop of Stamperia Bertozzi, the master artisan print house in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. There, Charlotte was taught the art of hand printing. “It is more than just banging on a block of wood,” explains Charlotte. “It is a feeling that you transmit when you print – each time different. That’s why each piece is unique.”

The Bertozzi family have used traditional printing techniques since 1920, hand-carving blocks of pear wood to produce the stamps they use to print designs onto fabric. They handmix the rich and vibrant colours that you see here – just as they have always done.

Variations in finish or appearance are not considered imperfections, but are the mark of a unique handmade item.
