So many of you asked where you might be able to find those cute tea towels Danielle used for napkins at her gorgeous wedding, we figured we should do a little post on them. They are mighty cute. And pretty inexpensive if you buy them from restaurant supply sites by the dozen.
These are seriously all over the internet. You can just google ‘restaurant herringbone kitchen towels” and you’ll get a bunch of results, but if you’re looking for even more instant gratification, you can find them here:
Citisco
Ikea (but you can’t buy them online)
Cooking.com
Best Buy Uniforms
The WEBstraunt Store
Amazon
Mission Restaurant Supply
D.P. Textiles
Atomic Mall

careful, though — a lot of times when restaurants use these as napkins I end up with a lap full of very persistent towel-lint!
Thank you so much for posting this! I was contemplating making my own napkins out of some seersucker fabric i had lying around but i don’t quite have enough. These will work wonderfully!
Great idea! I use these for Steak Night at home for friends, and found mine at the local restaurant supply store. Buying in bulk, like restaurants do, will get you the best deal.
Such a cute idea! Love those pink striped ones.
What a fantastic idea! I kept toying with whether I should make my own napkins or not, too. These are perfect. I will probably screen print a cute little logo or initial monogram on them too. Voila!
thanks Jillian!
Love this! It feels so thoughtful, but not over-done.
I’m using them for my rehearsal dinner! Love them!
Love, love, LOVE this idea! Already thought of two brides I can recommend this to!
I really love these. I must pass on to my clients.
love these. i believe they also carry them at surfas in culver city.
I can’t tell you how many times I’m in Ikea spotting a bride and groom picking up these napkins by the cart-full. It’s always a fabulous idea and a lot cheaper than renting them.
Have the ones from Ikea and use them for everything! So classic.
I stopped by somewhere to sit down & study in between classes. It was durring the winter months so it was really cold out & was dumb enough not to ware a coat. LOL! Anyways, the only table that was empty was dirty & had sticky gunk on the table. So i sat down anyways when a friend of mine walked by & noticed the table. She returned with a pail of soapy water. She pulled out a Herringbone Towel & started washing the table. dipped the towel in the soapy water, I noticed a sticky spot on the table edge. As she unfolded the soapy towel & started washing the table area close to where i was sitting, I started trying to brush it loose with my thumb. Without warning she began washing the table area where my hand was. The soapy towel began swiping across the table edge several times removing the sticky gunk & wiping my hand in the process. She then soaped up the towel once again. Then she voluntarily washed both my hands. The towel was soft & very warm.
These Herringbone towels are thick & sturdy, but they’er also very soft to the touch. Especially when warm. I’m suprised these Herringbone Towels aren’t used as hot towels on long airline flights. Because of they’er obsorbency & softness I would think they would be used for that purpose. They could also be used as a washcloth in luxury hotels. Because they do get very soft, instead of getting rough & worn out over time.
I don’t even know how I stopped up right here, however I thought this submit was good. I do not recognise who you’re but definitely you’re going to a well-known blogger when you are not already
Cheers!
