Linen Towel | French Laundry Inspired | New England Artisan

Woven from soft, pure linen, finished with a delicate herringbone pattern, this towel is a beautiful blend of Old World charm and New England craftsmanship. Meant for everyday living, yet worthy of display, these 28" x 21" towels have been created to be both useful and lovely.

What makes each towel truly special is the vintage French Laundry label the artisan has stitched into the corner of each towel, along with a loop for hanging this new future heirloom item. These labels are inspired by those once used in historic French households, inns, and laundries, where linens were carefully marked to identify ownership, by the home number or room placement. In an era when fine linens were precious, labels and stamps ensured that each cloth returned to its rightful home washed, pressed, and folded with care. Today, they serve as a gentle nod to a time when household textiles were valued, repaired, and cherished for generations. 

The linen has been pre-washed for softness and ease, giving it that relaxed, time-worn feel from the very first use. Designed for modern living, it may be machine washed on a gentle cycle or hand washed, becoming even softer with time.

Designed and handcrafted by New England artisan, Laura Traffie
