There are many words in our vernacular, lost over time, some of which are so charming we thought worth honouring on a range of tea towels.

The Merchant’s Table tea towel range is designed in our studio, screen printed, and hand-finished in Suffolk, in colours to complement stylish kitchens.

The range is based on Lost Words or Phrases from Suffolk or London, all related to food and drink.

Each tea towel is stitched with a handy hanging loop to use in the kitchen with ease.
