a former colleague of mine, ben ritter, sent over a link to his friend bethany’s wonderful new textile company ortolan. along with her sister jenna, bethany designs and manufactures housewares like dish towels, hand towels, pillows and blankets using 100% certified organic cotton canvas, vegan-friendly pillow filling, and local manufacturers. i fell instantly for the lovely kitchen towels ($26 each) and bed linens but you can browse (and shop) ortolan’s full collection right here. enjoy!
