So this week my mother gleefully shared some big news about Taylor. No, not the release of #TTPD. The big news, according to the Daily Mail and Homes & Gardens, is that Taylor has a thing for monogrammed towels. So now they've got that in common too.
Monogramming towels is as old as... well, towels! For centuries, women have embroidered their initials on these very useful and often valuable textiles. Back before you could pick up gorgeous bath towels by nipping off to the shop or clicking a few keys, women had to grow the flax, harvest and process the flax stems in to linen and then weave the towels by hand. It's no wonder that towels and bedding were viewed as valuable assets by the women who made them, and they monogrammed their initials (always their own initials, not their spouse's) to mark them as their own. Trolling antique shops and markets for vintage hand-monogrammed towels is one of my favourite weekend pastimes.
Embroidering initials on on your bath or kitchen towels makes so much sense too... you know who's is whose. Monogrammed towels are a beautiful wedding gift idea, or a thoughtful gift for new homeowners.
So here's our Monogrammed Towel Edit... all the very best towels for all occasions, designed and monogrammed by me and my talented team.
Leighton Bath Towels
Soft, absorbent and durable bath towels made from 600gsm cotton. They are designed for years of use and the embroidery will last as long as the towels.
Guest Towels
Monogrammed guest towels a stylish way to dress the loo for visitors. We offer several styles included cotton pique fringed hand towels, petite linen hemstitch guest towels, practical Terry towelling guest towels. Add an embroidered monogram in a thread colour that matches the colour scheme of the room.
You can also embroider the surname initial, the house name or number, the post code, a witty phrase or even a motif instead of text. No limits on what our embroidery service offers.
Kitchen Tea Towels
A beautiful kitchen needs beautiful monogrammed linen tea towels. We have several styles but all are substantially, or 100%, linen because we love the durability and absorbency of this sustainably-grown textile. Several styles of our tea towels have matching dinner napkins, which make a great gift for a gracious host or a keen cook.
Cotton Turkish Towels
Our 100% cotton Turkish hammam towels are lightweight, fast-drying and super stylish, making them a versatile travel companion. They can be used as a sarong, a deck chair towel, a picnic rug, a wrap on a cool evening... a Turkish towel is far more than a towel.
We stock them in bold striped colours, and will be introducing a terry towelling-backed version soon.
Linen Turkish Towels
A new addition to our range... these 55% linen/45% cotton Turkish towels in neutral colours are utterly divine. They look fabulous with a straw basket so are perfect for your next beach holiday. But they look equally good in a bathroom at home. Turkish towels make pretty summer bath towels because they are so absorbent and fast-drying.
Beach & Pool Towels
Our Faro Beach Towels are silky soft, thick and absorbent, and come in four fabulous colours. We love them for the beach or swimming pool and a monogram is a luxurious finishing touch on a gorgeous towel.
