Description

This cotton tea towel carries a vintage poster design of four penguins huddled together on a rocky ledge, set against a sunny yellow panel framed in a band of blue. Beneath the picture, bold black lettering reads 'For the Zoo, book to Regent's Park or Camden Town', a cheerful line that points the way to a day out. The ground is a natural cream cotton, which lets the yellow, the blues and the bright orange of the penguins' beaks stand out. Made from 100% cotton, it measures 50cm wide and 70cm long, a generous size that copes with a full rack of washing up.

In the kitchen it earns its keep every day, drying glasses and plates, covering a bowl of rising dough or lining a bread basket, and when it hangs from the oven rail the penguins add a bright splash of colour to the room. It sits as happily in a cottage kitchen, a narrowboat galley or a holiday flat, and it can be pinned flat on a kitchen or hallway wall as a piece of poster art. We think it makes a lovely present for anyone who enjoys vintage graphic design or simply smiles at a row of penguins, and because it folds flat and weighs little, it is easy to post or tuck into a hamper.

Every edge is fully hemmed for a neat, finished border, and a hanging strap on one corner lets it sit on a hook beside the sink or the cooker. Care is simple: wash it at 30°C and iron it on a low heat, and do not dry clean, bleach or tumble dry it, so hang it on the line or over a rail to dry instead. Fold it over the oven door handle with the penguins facing out, or pair it with a plain yellow or cream towel for a cheerful kitchen that never takes itself too seriously.
