Tea towels are so much more than a cloth to dry dishes. They are a small piece of art, a tiny slice of design heaven to cheer up your kitchen or gift to a friend. Tea towels accompany you through life’s high’s and lows - a quiet lunch with a loved one, dinners with friends, a family crisis. At Katy Botanicals we consider our tea towels to be a way to bring a dose of nature into your kitchen.
William Morris, a central figure in the 19th Century Arts & Crafts Movement believed in bringing good design to everyone’s homes, believing you should:
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” Tea towels can be both.
All our tea towels are 100%, good quality linen. They will start life crisp and firm then, with use, will soften over time with every wash.
Because they are made of natural, biodegradable fabric that uses far less water than cotton to produce, they are not only beautiful and a joy to use, but also a good ecological choice and good financial one. Our tea towels will give you years of use. Linen is one of the strongest textiles, one of the oldest and one of the most eco friendly.
To keep our carbon footprint low, we print small orders and they sell out quickly.

Our botanical tea towels are large, 70cm x 45cm and produced by a traditional printer in the UK.
They are so pretty that lots of our customers use them to wrap presents, place on side tables as tiny tablecloths, gift to friends, or even frame.
They can also of course be used to decorate your kitchen and due to their linen content, are great at drying dishes!
We hope you love them too.
Organic linen printed tea towel printed with a Katy Botanical hand painted design.
Each Katy Botanical design is inspired by the highly talented Arts and Crafts artists and artisans who brought good design into our homes through wallpapers, fabrics and ceramics.
Katy hand paints each design in her studio. Each tea towel is then printed onto heavy, good quality linens by traditional printers in the UK.
We do hope you love them.
