Hawaii Dish Towel by Catstudio

ALOHA! This original design celebrates the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. Carmel Swan, one of the owners of catstudio, is a native of Hawaii - and she worked long hours to ensure the art truly captures the spirit of Aloha. We think it does!

The design is silk-screened, then framed with a hand embroidered border on a 100% cotton dish towel/hand towel/guest towel/bar towel. Three stripes down both sides and hand dyed rick-rack at the top and bottom add a charming vintage touch. Delightfully presented in a fab organdy re-usable pouch!
