Product Insights
The Bistro Stripes Tea Towel by Simons Maison is a $12 CAD 100% organic cotton towel with long-staple fibers that soften and absorb better with each wash, while processed without chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, or azo dyes to remain food-safe. It costs roughly 40% less per square centimeter than comparable organic cotton towels, yet requires gentle care (wash at or below 30°C, skip fabric softener, soak before first use) to minimize lint and maximize performance.
Verified claims
- Fabric quality
- Softens with each wash; longer fibers reduce fraying.
- Lint
- Processed without chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, or azo dyes; the flat weave doesn't shed loose fibers into food, so the towel can safely cover rising dough or line a bread basket.
- Value
- $12 CAD—~40% less per square cm than comparable organic cotton towels.
- Price per size
- $12 CAD — 40% less per cm² than a $16 organic towel, below wholesale.
- Care
- Wash at ≤30°C, skip fabric softener, and soak before first use.
- Drying performance
- Absorbs from first use and improves with washing, but flat-woven cotton is closer to flour-sack absorbency than waffle weave—adequate for hands and light dish drying rather than heavy dish loads. After a few washes the smooth flat weave leaves a low-lint, streak-free finish on stemware and porcelain, though some lint may appear during the first few cycles.
- Material
- 100% organic cotton with long-staple fibers and no chemical residues.
- Machine care
- Machine washable and tumble-dryable.
- Wash durability
- Expect about 3–5% first-wash shrinkage; cold water and low tumble dry minimize it, and long-staple cotton helps edges and body hold together through hundreds of machine cycles.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Bistro Stripes Tea Towel: Choose this if you want an everyday kitchen cloth for washing, wiping, and cleaning, made of 100% organic cotton with a striped woven design in cream with warm brown/tan stripes. It measures 19.75 by 27.5 inches (50 by 70 cm), has a practical hanging loop sewn into the hem, and is easy-care with machine wash and dry. Note that the loosely woven fabric appears slightly coarse in product photos, so it may not suit those who prefer a smooth-feeling towel; it comes in Charcoal and Brown color options.[1,2,3] | Pinstripes Tea Towels Set Of 2: Choose this if you want a set of two large tea towels (20 by 27.5 inches) in 100% recycled cotton that handle everyday dish drying and can double as hand towels or cleaning cloths, with reviewers reporting good absorbency, quick drying, and a stylish pinstripe look worth hanging up. The set pairs a plush striped towel—praised for soaking up water fast and drying glassware streak-free—with a thinner solid waffle towel, which some reviewers found underwhelming for large spills or very wet surfaces. Both are easy-care and machine washable, with a hidden hanging loop at the back.[4] | Dotted Stripes Cotton-Linen Blend Tea Towel: Choose this if you want a Simons Maison tea towel for everyday washing, wiping, and cleaning tasks, made of a 60% linen and 40% cotton blend that is machine washable and dryable, with a practical hanging loop on the trim. It suits shoppers drawn to a decorative look: a cream base with dotted black grid and stripe detailing, plus a braided border, measuring 19.75 inches by 27.5 inches (50 x 70 cm), in Black and White or Orange colorways. Note that the fabric shows a coarse, slubbed woven texture typical of linen blends, which some may find rustic rather than smooth.[5,6,7] |

Fabulous quality
Not absorbent
It’s not an ideal towel to use to dry dishes. The material is not absorbent. Would not buy again.
Gorgeous, soft and plushy towels
I love my hand towels. They have such a great texture and feel to it and the design is beautiful. We use them to dry our hands in the kitchen, but not the kitchenware as they don't dry them well. They are effective for our hands though.
