6件20世纪初的亚麻毛巾，带有不同的首字母 - 纺织品 - 80 cm - 60 cm

这些是源自19世纪晚期的原始法国茶巾，当时这种独特的织物首次出现。Millions of meters of this raw linen were woven in what were then small factories to meet the sudden surge in demand. 每个法国家庭都想在厨房里拥有这如今标志性的外观，尤其是醒目的纵向深红条纹。Over time, variations of these stripes were introduced, and their popularity only grew. 随着时间推移，这些条纹的变体被引入，受欢迎程度只增不减。 By the 1920s, however, tastes had changed, and many of these towels were set aside in armoires, waiting for another day. 然而到20世纪20年代，品味发生了改变，许多毛巾被放在衣柜里，等待另一天。 In recent years, there has been a remarkable resurgence of interest in these textiles—this time embraced by a new generation, both in France and beyond, who are discovering their history for the first time. 近年来，这些纺织品重新受到极大关注——这次被法国本土及海外的新一代人所接受，他们第一次了解起源与历史。 The fabric produced was either pure linen or métis, a blend of 65% linen and 35% cotton. 所产织物为纯亚麻或 métis，一种65%的亚麻与35%的棉混纺。 These towels were true workhorses of the household, designed to withstand harsh washing methods. 这些毛巾是家中真正的“工作马”，设计用于经受粗暴的洗涤方法。 Before washing machines became common in the 1930s, laundry day—typically Monday—meant a trip to the local washhouses by the village stream. 在20世纪30年代洗衣机普及之前，洗衣日——通常是周一——意味着要前往村庄溪流边的地方洗衣房。 Armed with wicker baskets, people would scrub and beat their linens against smooth stones under often difficult conditions. 人们手提柳条编织的篮子，在往往艰苦的条件下，将亚麻布在光滑的石头上揉搓、拍打。 This is set of six tea towels features different tea towels. 这组六条茶巾展示了不同的茶巾。 From ti me to time we received complete packs of tea towels which all have o be checked for their condition. 时不时地，我们收到一些完整的茶巾包，所有都需要检查状态。 Many would not have made it due to intensive wear and tear and have to be destroyed. 由于严重磨损，许多已经不能使用，必须销毁。 Thus we are landing up with many siblings which deserve a new life. 因此我们留下了许多同批次的毛巾，它们值得获得新生。 1 hemp towel 80cm x 60cm 1 条麻质毛巾 80cm x 60cm 2 tea towels E.C. 70cm x 60xm 2 条茶巾 E.C. 70cm x 60xm 1 tea towel M.C. 70cm x 53cm 1 条茶巾 M.C. 70cm x 53cm 2 tea towels F.M. 80cm x 60cm 2 条茶巾 F.M. 80cm x 60cm
