Soft Absorbent Artist Designed Tea Towels: Functional Art for Every Home

I believe the things we use every day should be both beautiful and highly functional. At Loopla, my goal is to create items that act as a canvas for my art while serving as one of the most hardworking tools in the kitchen. My collection of soft absorbent artist designed tea towels is created to bring a touch of intentionality and a pop of personality to any home.

Why people are surprised by the soft texture

One thing I hear constantly at markets is how surprised people are when they actually touch these towels. Many of us are used to new tea towels feeling a bit stiff or scratchy, but these are completely different from the very first use. Also known as flour sack material, this 100% cotton crepe fabric is a favourite. Because of the unique woven texture, these towels are incredibly soft and absorbent.

Unlike heavier textiles that can take a long time to break in, cotton crepe is gentle on your glassware. It soaks up water instantly and dries quickly on the oven handle. It is the perfect blend of vintage utility and modern art.

A design for every style and personality

I love creating patterns that suit a variety of different styles and preferences. Because everyone needs a tea towel, they make a fantastic practical gift for both men and women. My collection includes several distinct styles to choose from.

Australian birds and nature inspired patterns

The Budgie Blooms and botanical prints are perfect for those who want to bring a touch of the outdoors inside. These designs are a favourite for anyone looking for a modern and sophisticated take on Australian flora and fauna.

Retro and geometric kitchen decor

I offer bold rhythmic designs that provide a mid century or modern pop of colour to any kitchen. These are ideal for adding a structured yet colourful element to your home.

Choosing soft absorbent artist designed tea towels for your home

When you are looking for a gift or a kitchen refresh, choosing a piece that is both beautiful and functional is key. My geometric and retro patterns offer a structured yet colourful element to your home.

Sending a piece of Australian art overseas

If you are looking for a gift to send to friends or family living abroad, a designer tea towel is an excellent choice. They are lightweight and fold flat, making them very affordable to pop in an envelope and post overseas. My range of Australian nature and bird designs offers a beautiful way to share a piece of local art that can be used and enjoyed every single day.

Common questions about Loopla tea towels

Where can I find these tea towels in Brisbane?

I design all of my patterns in my studio in Annerley, Brisbane. While you can browse the full range on my online shop, I love meeting people at local markets. Shopping in person is the best way to experience the soft texture of the cotton crepe for yourself. I also offer exclusive market pricing and bundle deals that make it easy to stock up on gifts for everyone on your list.

How do I care for my 100% cotton tea towels?

These towels are built to last through years of washing. You can simply machine wash them on a cold cycle. One of the best things about the flour sack style is that you can tumble dry them to enhance their natural soft crinkle. There is no need for ironing to make them look great.

Ready to brighten up your kitchen?

If you are ready to swap your current towels for something soft, absorbent, and full of colour, I would love for you to explore the collection. You can find a design that speaks to your style and experience the difference of cotton crepe for yourself.
