vintage antique striped tea towel

The story of Maison Masarin begins with Michèle Masarin, who created Comptoir des Teintures in 2012. Passionate about linens and colors, she collects and gathers pieces made of hemp, linen, cotton, or mixed fibers, which she transforms and dyes with her own color blends to give them a second life. She was a pioneer in upcycling, which has now become an environmental priority. Maison Masarin was born from this passion passed down through generations for raw materials and their nuances of colors. Their universe draws inspiration from both their family home, rich in Mediterranean influences, and the everyday needs.

These antique tea towels are made of linen or hemp. They are collected, repaired, and cleaned by the Maison Masarin team in their workshop in Lyon. Each piece is unique or in small series. The dyes are handmade and there may be nuance variations compared to the color in the image. Vintage tea towels are pieces that tell a story. Some slight defects may appear in the weave or in the color. These signs of age give them authentic charm and are a testament to know-how of generations. 

Each towel measures 80 x 60 cm.
