SECONDS Pink Lobster Stripe Block Print Tea Towel

Blue Lobster Stripe Tea Towel | Perfectly Imperfect

These tea towels are part of my Perfectly Imperfect Sale.

Each one has a tiny cosmetic flaw that means I couldn’t bring myself to sell it at full price. Think the odd speck of pigment, a tiny mark from the printing or pressing process, or a small glue dot. Nothing that affects how it looks from a distance, how it washes or how it performs in your kitchen.

The photos show examples of the kinds of imperfections you might receive. Every tea towel is slightly different, but all have only very minor cosmetic marks. Rather than photographing each one individually, I’ve grouped together tea towels of a similar standard.

If you’re anything like me and have a soft spot for the slightly wonky ones, I hope you’ll give one of these a home.

As always, they’re hand block printed in Jaipur using traditional techniques, and every one is perfectly functional, just not quite perfect enough for my full-price collection.

Care Note - Please Read

The natural pigments will soften and mellow over time – part of their organic charm.

To keep your tea towel 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.
