Boxwood Topiary Embroidered Cotton Terry Hand Towel by Jacaranda Living

Boxwood topiary embroidery and jacquard dobby trim give this cotton terry hand towel a clear, decorative finish. Its generous hand-towel proportions make it useful beside the basin while keeping the garden motif in view.

“I would give this generous hand towel its own rail space so the cotton dries between uses.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage

Jacaranda Living began with a basket of samples. After moving from South Africa to Massachusetts, needlework enthusiast Cathy Deale offered to show local Zulu embroiderers’ linens to shops in Boston and Wellesley. The first orders, and then the reorders, gave the work a new audience. Cathy and Martin Deale founded the company in 2004, naming it for South Africa’s lilac-flowering jacaranda tree. The business now works with producers in several countries, using both hand and machine embroidery. Its character remains in the small textile details: a botanical motif, an open hemstitch or a border that makes an ordinary household piece feel considered.
