The What and Where of Fingertip Towels

A fingertip towel is a small towel designed to be easy and convenient for drying hands and particularly ‘fingertips’ quickly. It is smaller than a hand towel, yet larger than a wash cloth. A fingertip towel can be functional, decorative, or both. It is a versatile towel that can be laid on the countertop next to the sink, hung on a small towel rack, or draped over coordinating bath towels or hand towels, particularly in guest bathrooms. 

The fingertip towel adds a gracious touch to the home and can serve multiple purposes, especially those towels which are woven from linen. Linen is a highly absorbent and soft fiber that does not leave lint, making it the perfect cloth to dry fine crystal, prized silverware, and delicate china without scratching. Linen fingertip towels are versatile—apart from making the perfect drying cloth, they can be also be used in the kitchen as a general utility towel, as a tea towel, or even used to line a bread basket.

Fingertip towels make excellent housewarming and hostess gifts. Their simple elegance also makes them a nice option for engagement and wedding gifts, especially when appropriately monogrammed.

We have many fingertip towels on our website that can be used in the bathroom, powder room, dining room or kitchen.
