Hand Block Printed Tea Towels

BUY ONE TEA TOWEL & GET A SECOND ONE HALF PRICE. Discount automatically applies at checkout. Add a touch of colour and craft to the kitchen with our hand block printed tea towels, made from soft 100% cotton in the historic Sanganer district of Jaipur.

Each tea towel is printed by hand using intricately carved wooden blocks and naturally derived pigments, a slow and careful process that has been practised here for generations. Subtle variations in the print are part of the beauty and a reminder of the skilled hands behind every piece.

Designed to be both practical and decorative, they are perfect for drying dishes, lining bread baskets or simply bringing a little pattern and warmth to everyday kitchen moments.

Available in four Cosy Buddha prints:

• Pink Lobster, featuring the playful lobster motif drawn by artist Cate Wise exclusively for Cosy Buddha
• Blue Stripe Lobster, a classic stripe paired with the cheerful lobster design
• Pink Stripe & Burgundy Star, soft blush stripes scattered with delicate burgundy stars
• Cornflower Leaf, a gentle leafy print in calm cornflower blue on butter yellow

The colours echo tones used throughout the Cosy Buddha tableware collection, making them easy to mix with our tablecloths, napkins and runners.

Approx. 50 x 70 cm, with a hanging loop sewn into one corner for easy storage.

Made in small batches for Cosy Buddha.

Because we work slowly and sustainably, only a few of each print and size are available, making every cloth as special as the gatherings it will host. Due to the lengthy time it takes to hand print and air dry these pieces, this collection is extremely limited.

Every piece is printed entirely by hand, so no two are ever quite the same. You may notice small variations in the print: a softer edge here, a faint tide mark where one block meets the next. These aren't flaws; they're the signature of the human hand, and what makes your piece one of a kind.

Care Note - Please Read

The natural pigments in our hand block printed cotton will mellow and soften over time, especially strong, deep colours. This is part of their handmade charm, but to keep your colours at their best for longer, wash sparingly and always very gently.

To keep your piece at its best:

• Hand washing is recommended.
• If machine washing, use a delicates cycle at 20-30°C maximum.
• Wash with mild detergent only: no bleach or harsh chemicals.
• Air dry only, out of direct sunlight.
• Do not tumble dry.
• Iron on a cool setting, on the reverse side.
