Made in India

Sustainable Threads creates design-led, fair trade home textiles made in partnership with artisan communities across India. The Direction Blue kitchen towel is handwoven thread by thread on manual looms, with a natural, unbleached cotton warp and a dyed weft that gives the cloth its color. It is sturdy, highly absorbent and built to be used, which makes it a practical way to cut back on paper towels. Woven by artisans from the Physically Disabled Weavers' Initiative, each towel is the result of skill, patience, and dignified work.

Why We Love It

  • Crafted by artisans from the Physically Disabled Weavers' Initiative, which works with physically challenged artisans and their families in Northern India. The work provides fair wages and life-skills training, and buying this towel directly supports it
  • A genuinely elevated, eco-friendly alternative to disposable paper towels. Absorbent, durable, and beautiful enough to leave on the counter
  • Built-in hanging loop for easy drying and storage, a small detail that makes everyday use effortless
  • Arrives with a belly band and hanger that tell the story of the weavers, ready to give. A unique, feel-good gift for housewarmings, hostess moments, or anyone who believes the kitchen deserves beautiful things too
