Always follow the care instructions on the towel label for the best washing practices.

We bought an Ireland and Italy dish towel for my Grandparents who were born there. They were so touched! We received a picture of their towels hanging on their oven within minutes of them opening the gifts. The color and detail on the towel is absolutely beautiful.

What a sweet gift for your grandparents, what a touching story! Thank you so much for your order and for taking the time to leave us a review. Please feel free to reach out to us if there's ever anything we can help with. Take care!
