Tea Towel, Haute Viennoiserie

Croissants and palmiers ranged behind tiled bakery fronts, the way a good window looks at eight in the morning. A tea towel about viennoiserie.

Woven by Le Jacquard Français at Gérardmer in the Vosges. A jacquard damask, so the pattern reads on both faces. 100% cotton, 24 by 31 inches, colourway Confiture, a jam red.

For the friend who laminates her own dough, the father who queues for the first batch.
