Queen's Platinum Jubilee Cotton Tea Towel

Platinum Jubilee Tea Towel, Queen Elizabeth II

The tea towel by the sink is always the thin one that goes damp after two plates and gets binned within a month, replaced by another equally flimsy one from the multipack. This one is built to outlast the washing-up rota.

Plenty of printed tea towels are thin, shiny and useless at the one job they have. Ours is 100% cotton at 48 by 70cm, made in the UK, and absorbent enough to actually dry a plate rather than just move the water around.

Platinum Jubilee Tea Towel For A Kitchen That Actually Uses It

A commemorative tea towel that lives folded in a drawer is a wasted one. This one earns its place by the sink because it is genuinely good at drying dishes, not just good at sitting still for a photo on a shelf. It marks Queen Elizabeth II's seventy years on the throne on something that gets picked up every single day, which counts for more than a plate that only comes out for guests once a year and gets put straight back afterwards.

The Thinking Behind The Design

2022 marked the first Platinum Jubilee in British history, seventy years of service from a woman who was on the throne before colour television existed and outlasted fourteen Prime Ministers along the way. The design keeps it simple and dignified rather than souvenir-shop loud, which is exactly what a kitchen needs rather than another gift shop print nobody looks at twice after the first week. It suits a parent or grandparent who remembers the Coronation first hand, or anyone who wants a bit of patriotic British history hanging by the oven handle every day.

Platinum Jubilee Tea Towel That Gets It Right

Most novelty tea towels are thin polyester that goes shiny and useless within a fortnight, pushing water around a plate rather than lifting it off properly. This one is proper cotton, woven to actually absorb, and it gets more absorbent rather than less after the first wash, which is the opposite of what most cheap towels do. The print holds its sharpness through wash cycle after wash cycle, so the design still looks crisp long after a cheaper towel would have faded to a smear and been relegated to cleaning the oven door.

Platinum Jubilee Tea Towel FAQ

What is the tea towel made from?

100% cotton, made in the UK. It measures 48 by 70cm, a proper drying size rather than a decorative scrap that cannot fit round a plate.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash at 30 degrees and skip the tumble dryer, which is the only real way to shorten a cotton towel's life. It gets softer and more absorbent after the first wash rather than wearing thin, so regular use only improves it over time.

How quickly will my order arrive, and is personalisation available?

Orders are produced in 1 to 2 working days and shipped within 1 to 3 days after that. This design is fixed, so personalisation is not available on this item.

Who is this tea towel actually for?

Anyone who wants a bit of Royal history in daily use rather than on a shelf gathering dust. It suits a parent or grandparent's kitchen, or a small gift for someone who already has the mug and coasters and would rather have the full set on display.
