While its roots can be traced as far back as Ancient China and all the way through to WW2, the emergence of the tea towel as we know it today comes from an unsurprising source - the British art of tea serving. Bursting onto the serveware scene in the 18th century, tea towels became popular with homemakers and kitchen staff thanks to their ability to undertake more delicate cleaning jobs without damaging precious crockery. Softer and lighter than their bathroom counterparts, and often made of linen or flat-weave cotton, tea towels were lauded for their lint-free and scratch-free finish when drying teaware, glassware and dishes. These same properties are imperative today, making tea towels an essential in every kitchen.

THE ICONIC’s range of tea towels has designs to suit every style of kitchen décor. Choose the classic stylings of Australia icon Country Road for tea towels that are versatile and timeless. With their heritage serif logo alongside versatile stripes, Country Road’s tea towels are a great base for every kitchen.
