Voilà! This little worker bee comes from France. The weaving mill makes the tea towel from a slightly stronger cotton yarn of Nm 20, giving it a medium material weight - ideal for drying dishes and pots. Woven in a tight plain weave, the cloth has a rather robust feel and is very durable. At first, the fabric feels a little stiff, but after the first few washes it quickly becomes soft and non-slip. With the two subtle stripes - en bleu et rouge bien sûr - woven into the white background, the cloth blends into any kitchen. Celebrities!

As the northernmost region of France, Nord-Pas-de-Calais is one of Europe's traditional flax-growing areas. The Charvet weaving mill is located in the small town of Armentières, right on the Belgian border, which has been known for the production of linen and cotton fabrics since the Middle Ages. Here one has already specialized in the early 20th century on the linen weaving, the program included, among other things, sailcloth and the robust linen fabrics, from which the French work clothes - the "bleus de travail" and for fishermen the "vareuses" (sailor shirts) - as well as utility textiles for bakeries ("toiles de boulangerie") were made in the past.
