Did you see the article in The Wall Street Journal about torchon kitchen towels?

Vintage Torchons in the Wall Street Journal

Made with crisp linen and finished with traditional red stripes, these towels are inspired by those used in 19th-Century French households.  Today, they make for a perfect compliment to any busy kitchen and they’re great as oversized placemats. Soft, absorbent, and lint-free, these towels are as useful as they are charming.
