Enough with the old white bar towels! That's what we said recently after realizing we'd descended into a sad sorry state of having only very stained funky kitchen towels. It's almost summer; time for some brightness and cheer on our towel bar.

Tikoli, a beautiful line of kitchen towels, offers six playful designs, pigment-dyed on 100% cotton. They come crisp and pressed, but only become more soft and absorbent over time.

We love the Mummy and the Flax. Anyone with a modern sensibility in the kitchen will find a towel to hang on their hook.

Tikoli Towels are available online for $8.50 a piece, and at these select retailers.
