Gipsy Le Jacquard Français Cotton Tea Towels and Hand Towels

Each of the Gipsy Le Jacquard Français cotton tea towels and hand towels tells a story through every motif woven into its fabric. Their designs invite you on a bohemian journey, inspired by cultures from around the world. These jacquard towels are responsibly and sustainably made in France, 100% from excellent-quality combed cotton. The detailed patterns woven into the fabric make these towels pieces full of charm and glamour. As beautiful as they are functional, they will fill any room with colour.

The Gipsy tea towels and hand towels are made from 100% long-staple combed cotton. They are soft, absorbent and very pleasant to the touch, but there are some differences:

• Tea towel. It is a generous 60 x 80 cm jacquard towel. Featuring vibrant colours and vertical borders with detailed designs. Smoother, softer and more compact than the hand towel, its absorbency makes it ideal for drying dishes or glassware. It is also a very colourful and beautiful towel for covering fruit, bread or simply decorating a room.
• Hand towel. Jacquard waffle hand towel, 54 x 38 cm, with “Sanfor” label. Featuring vibrant colours and horizontal borders with detailed motifs in its design. Thicker to the touch, with a more spongy appearance, greater absorbency and enhanced breathability. The “Sanfor” label guarantees that, thanks to its waffle weave, it has been treated to prevent shrinking or warping after washing.

What is the Jacquard technique?

Le Jacquard Français is renowned for producing fabrics using the jacquard technique. This technique, invented in 1804 by Joseph Marie Jacquard, integrates the design into the fabric itself through a loom that individually controls the different threads in each stitch. The pattern is woven at the same time as the fabric; it is not printed or added afterwards. The creations are richer, with texture and relief, retaining their beautiful and luxurious appearance over time.

What is combed cotton?

Le Jacquard Français uses top-quality natural fibres to guarantee excellence in its textiles. Alongside linen, one of its main materials is combed cotton. This type of cotton is carefully and meticulously combed to remove impurities and shorter fibres. Only the longest fibres remain, resulting in a softer, more uniform and more resistant yarn. With this combed cotton thread, the fabrics are more durable and very pleasant to the touch.
