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

Great way to remember our trip!!

I ordered this towel for my husband and I who have been collecting these towels from CatStudio for years and didn’t really realize they were all from the same place until a year ago or so. We just went to Italy and loved it and had so much fun!!! I can’t wait to go back, but until then, we have this to have as some memorabilia!

Celebrating our trip to Italy!

Six of us - all neighbors here in Maine - visited Italy (Rome and Tuscany) in late April/early May 2022. Along with "The Tuscan Sun Cookbook" by Frances Mayes and a terrific bottle of Tuscan olive oil, the neighbors will receive the cookbook, the olive oil, and the "Italy" dishtowel for Christmas 2022 gifts! I'll "gift" myself and my husband the same gift!

WOW. What an amazing trip that must have been! Can't think of anything better - good food, good fun with friends, and OUR DISH TOWEL! What a great way to preserve the memory of what sounds like the trip of a lifetime! Thank you for sharing and for the positive review!
