Bistro Tea Towel, Buvard

Buvard takes its name (and hue) from the classic pink ink blotter, and is just as handy in profes­sional and home kitchens alike. Modern weaving tech­niques update linen made the tradi­tional way in the cite de la toile, Armen­tières, the medieval city of fabric tucked into north­ern France — and like the city in which they are made, these essen­tial kitchen acces­sories only get better with age.
