Protea Tea Towels

Protea Tea Towels — Original Art, Functional Everyday Linen

The protea — South Africa’s national flower — is known for its resilience and quiet drama. Thriving in the fynbos landscape, it’s a plant that rewards attention, revealing unexpected colour and form the closer you look.

These protea tea towels translate that spirit into everyday kitchen linen. Each design is printed from an original artwork by Mary-Anne Flanagan, capturing the painterly energy, layered colour, and slightly unruly beauty of the protea in bloom.

Eco-printed in small batches on 100% cotton, these towels are made to be used and lived with — functional, durable, and quietly expressive. Their generous size (approx 60 × 40 cm) makes them ideal for tray cloths, drying dishes, caring for glassware, or adding colour and personality to your everyday kitchen routines.  They are practical objects that bring a sense of place, story, and art into daily rituals.

Whether you’re buying for yourself or searching for a thoughtful gift, these art-inspired tea towels combine:

• Original botanical art grounded in South African flora

• Durable, absorbent 100% cotton that gets softer with each wash

• Artisan small-batch production for quality and uniqueness

Perfect for homes that value everyday beauty, select your preferred protea design and bring a small piece of South African botanical art into your everyday kitchen.
