The Iris Rustica towel reflects the Umbrian textile tradition of Tessitura Pardi, a renowned Italian manufacturer specializing in fine household fabrics.
Made from pure linen and woven on traditional looms, it offers all the qualities of the Ape Rustica towel: excellent absorbency, lightness, quick drying and a naturally exfoliating texture.
Its distinguishing feature is the design. Fine vertical stripes run along the fabric, creating a regular and understated graphic rhythm. The pattern feels clean and contemporary while retaining the warmth and texture of the Lino Rustica collection.
The result is a refined and versatile towel that works beautifully in classic, modern, rustic and minimalist bathrooms.
Its lightly textured linen surface provides a gentle massaging action. Compared with traditional terry towels, Iris Rustica is thinner, lighter and less bulky while remaining highly absorbent.
With use and washing, the linen becomes progressively softer while retaining its strength and authentic natural character.
Iris Rustica is available in two standard sizes:
- Small: 62 × 45 cm / approximately 24 × 18 inches
- Large: 124 × 70 cm / approximately 49 × 28 inches
Each towel is sold individually.
The currently available colors are blue, jade, natural, lavender, black, ochre, Sagrantino and turquoise. Color availability may vary.
The distinctive character of Iris Rustica comes from its fine vertical stripes. The design is simple without feeling anonymous: the stripes emphasize the length of the towel and create a clean, light and elegant visual effect.
Iris Rustica can be used alone or combined with other towels from the collection.
Paired with Ape Rustica, its minimalist stripes provide a refined contrast to the more decorative Ape design.
Its most elegant companion, however, is Damasco Rustica. Iris’s clean lines balance the richer damask motif, creating a sophisticated collection without appearing overly coordinated.
Choose different designs in the same color for a harmonious set, or combine complementary shades for a more personal effect.
La Bottega di Casa selects and offers linen towels made by Tessitura Pardi.
Our collaboration with this historic Umbrian manufacturer also includes its fabrics by the meter. All Tessitura Pardi fabrics selected by La Bottega di Casa belong to the Lino Rustica collection, characterized by natural linen-colored threads and a warm, textured appearance.
In our Follina atelier, we use these fabrics to create tablecloths, table runners and placemats, available in standard sizes or made to measure, including very large dimensions.
Iris Rustica towels themselves are made directly by Tessitura Pardi and are available in the standard sizes shown on this page.
La Bottega di Casa is an Italian home-linen atelier based in Follina, in the Prosecco Hills of the Veneto region.
In our workshop, we select fine Italian and European fabrics and transform them into tablecloths, runners, placemats, napkins and household linens, including made-to-measure pieces and very large formats.
Since 2000, our store in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, has brought Italian textile culture and the distinctive style of La Bottega di Casa to an international clientele.
Alongside the collections created in our atelier, we offer selected pieces from Italian manufacturers that share our passion for natural fibers and traditional craftsmanship, including Tessitura Pardi linen towels.

We recommend avoiding it. Fabric softener may coat the fibers, reduce the linen’s natural absorbency and gradually weaken the fabric. Linen naturally becomes softer with washing.
