French Jacquard tea towel by Tissage Moutet "La Tour Eiffel"
Regular price
$25.00
"La Tour Eiffel" motif is featured on French jacquard tea towel from Southwestern France. Made of 100% cotton, it measures 20" wide x 28" tall (50 cm x 70 cm) and is green turquoise with a brick red border and an embroidered yellow heart. This design is by textile artist Hèlène Druvert. Since 1919, Tissage Moutet has operated their weaving studio which is now headed by the fifth generation, Benjamin Moutet.
The Basque fabric tradition dates back to the Middle Ages when Basque farmers began weaving sun-protecting capes called Saial to protect their cows. This high-quality fabric will not shrink and yarn-dyed colors remain vibrant after years of use. Machine wash and dry.
