Discover Beauvillé kitchen towels

French craftsmanship for luxury kitchen linens

Since 1839, Beauvillé has preserved exceptional textile expertise in Ribeauvillé, Alsace. Every kitchen towel begins with an original design developed by our creative team, then printed and finished in France with careful attention to line, color and detail.

This mastery of textile printing gives each design its distinctive depth and luminous palette. More than a practical kitchen accessory, a Beauvillé tea towel reflects a French decorative tradition made for contemporary daily life.

Decorative kitchen towels for every style

The collection brings together floral compositions, fruits and vegetables, coastal inspirations, Alsatian scenes, seasonal illustrations and calendar designs. Colorful kitchen towels enliven a neutral room, while softer motifs complement a calm and timeless interior.

These printed tea towels can be used every day, displayed on an oven handle or offered as a thoughtful French-made gift. Christmas kitchen towels and calendar tea towels also make practical presents that retain a strong decorative character.

What is a kitchen towel used for?

A kitchen towel—also called a dish towel or tea towel—is a versatile textile used to dry dishes, glassware and hands, protect a work surface or cover bread and baked goods. Its generous 50 × 80 cm format provides a comfortable surface for everyday tasks.

For best hygiene, assign different towels to different uses and change them regularly. A decorative tea towel can also remain on display when it is not being used.

How to choose a kitchen towel

• Material: choose a natural cotton-linen blend for a balance of softness, absorbency and strength.
• Size: the Beauvillé 50 × 80 cm format is practical for drying dishes and handling everyday kitchen tasks.
• Design: select floral, graphic, culinary or seasonal motifs to coordinate with the room.
• Use: keep separate towels for dishes, hands and work surfaces.
• Gift occasion: calendar, Christmas and themed towels are easy-to-give French-made presents.

Why choose a cotton and linen kitchen towel?

Beauvillé kitchen towels are made from 82% cotton and 18% linen. Cotton contributes softness and absorbency, while linen adds strength and a naturally refined appearance. Together, these fibers create a durable fabric suited to repeated use.

The blend also provides an excellent support for Beauvillé’s precise printed patterns. Always retain the exact composition in product and category copy: the collection should not be described as 100% cotton.

How to care for Beauvillé kitchen towels

Before first use, soak the towel in cold water for 12 to 24 hours, renewing the water if necessary. Wash it separately for the first time at 40°C with half the usual amount of detergent.

For later washes, separate dark colors, unfold items before placing them in the machine and avoid rubbing a stain locally, which may alter the print. Always follow the care label attached to the product.

What is the difference between a kitchen towel, a dish towel and a tea towel?
