Statement tea towels are always a talking point … we think every kitchen should have these works of art. Our Chicken Tea Towels are printed in the Winelands and handstitched by Sumien Brink here in Cape Town.
Sumien’s tea towels were borne out of a love of printing on linen – printing of a different kind after a lifetime spent editing lifestyle magazines. A lifelong fascination with historical illustrations or botanical prints and vintage images of roosters, chickens and geese found in antique books led to this charming range for our kitchens.
Ilse Crawford, author of Sensual Home, once said: ‘Make room for things that have meaning for you. Buy for instinctive reasons rather than rational ones. You will always enjoy it – it’s the “sensible” buys you’ll end up hating.’ And how right she was!
The joy of discovering a design or colour that speaks to you, is as moving as the evocative power of smell… wood smoke, the salty tang of the sea, the warm aroma of baking cakes, the lingering scent of a fragrant candle. They all bring back happy memories. ‘Life is simply better when surrounded by beautiful things,’ says curator Helen Untiedt, co-founder of Perfect Hideaways.
