The Quality and Craftsmanship of Our Tea Towels
Thoughtfully designed and made to last, our tea towels are a true meeting of beauty and utility. Woven from premium linen and cotton, they’re naturally absorbent, quick-drying, and soft to the touch—perfect for everything from drying dishes to doubling as a casual bread wrap or impromptu placemat. Each piece is brought to life with Sage x Clare’s signature prints and palettes, screen printed or yarn-dyed for rich, lasting colour that doesn’t fade with every wash. It’s all in the details: neatly finished edges, generous sizing, and natural fibres that just get better with age. For the full kitchen lineup, pair them with our oven mitts and pot holders—a coordinated touch that’s as practical as it is pretty.
How to Style Your Kitchen with Tea Towels
Tea towels may be the quiet achievers of the kitchen, but with a little creativity, they become so much more than just functional. Drape one over your oven handle for an instant pop of colour and pattern, or fold it neatly beside a platter when entertaining—effortless styling that feels both thoughtful and lived-in. Use them to line bread baskets, wrap freshly baked treats, or even dress up a bottle of wine as a gift—just tie with twine for a personal, waste-free touch. Their soft texture and bold prints bring warmth and character to any corner of your space. And if you’re all about elevating your kitchen look, complete the picture with one of our linen aprons—where practicality meets print perfection.
Caring for Your Sage x Clare Tea Towels
A little love goes a long way when it comes to keeping your tea towels looking fresh and feeling fabulous. To preserve their vibrant prints, natural absorbency, and soft texture, we recommend a gentle cold machine wash with like colours. Skip the bleach and harsh detergents—your towels will thank you with longer-lasting colour and softness. Line dry in the shade to protect those rich hues, or tumble dry on low if needed. With every wash, our linen and cotton blends soften up beautifully, ready to dry, wrap or style all over again. Designed for daily use and made to be loved for years to come.
Can I Machine Wash and Dry Sage x Clare Tea Towels?
Absolutely—our tea towels are made for real life, mess and all. Crafted from durable linen and cotton blends, they’re designed to handle regular machine washing with ease. For best results, use a gentle cold cycle with like colours, and avoid bleach to keep those bold prints looking their best. You can tumble dry on low or line dry in the shade for a softer, more natural finish. With every wash, they’ll only get better—so go ahead, put them to good use.
Do Your Tea Towels Come in Sets or Individually?
