This vintage-style tea towel features a delicate 19th-century portrait of Charlotte Brontë, paired with a quietly defiant and much-loved quote from Jane Eyre:
“I would always rather be happy than dignified.”
Rendered in soft, muted tones, the artwork has the look of an antique drawing, giving the piece a timeless yet modern-feeling elegance. Both practical and decorative, it brings wit, independence, and literary charm to the kitchen.
Printed on 100% cotton and handmade in Britain by our small family business, each tea towel is carefully finished and designed to be used and enjoyed every day.
