The Damasco 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 the same qualities as the Ape Rustica and Iris Rustica towels: excellent absorbency, lightness, durability, quick drying and a naturally exfoliating texture.
Its distinguishing feature is the damask design. The ornamental motif is created directly through the interlacing of the threads and is revealed by subtle variations in texture and light. It is not printed onto the surface but forms an integral part of the fabric itself.
The effect is rich and refined while remaining understated. The natural linen-colored thread characteristic of the Rustica collection softens the contrast and gives the towel a warmer, more textured appearance.
Damasco Rustica interprets a classic decorative motif with a contemporary sensibility. It feels at home in elegant traditional bathrooms but also introduces a subtle decorative element into modern interiors.
With use and washing, the linen becomes progressively softer while retaining its strength and authentic natural character.
Damasco 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.
Damask is one of the most representative motifs in the Italian textile tradition. In Damasco Rustica, the design is not printed but created during weaving through the different interlacing of the threads.
Damasco Rustica can be used alone or combined with other towels from the collection.
Its most refined companion is Iris Rustica. The richer damask design is balanced by Iris’s clean vertical stripes, creating an elegant and dynamic set without looking overly coordinated.
Choose both designs in the same color for a harmonious combination. Alternatively, pair related shades or contrast a neutral tone with a deeper color.
Damasco Rustica can also be combined with Ape Rustica to create a richer collection featuring three complementary woven designs.
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.
Damasco 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 ship worldwide.
