It always feels so posh when we visit people's houses and they've got a stack of cloth towels in the bathroom for guests to use, like in a fancy restaurant. Not so much when those are monogrammed and heavy gauge but — disposable.
These are more our style — the fancy factor of the cloth towels with a little bit of humor thrown in. Of course, the obvious use is in the kitchen, but that wouldn't be as much fun.

Guest towels are posh? Something's not right when the standard for hospitality is a restaurant.
Didn't most of us grow up with little useless guest towels which we swore we'd never have?
$20 for two? How much energy did it take to print those letters out? And made in India!? How much energy did it take to transport those towels to the West, and how much are those Indians getting paid? It's not a paper towel, just another BS product that capitalizes on your guilt for wasting and your need to waste.
not to mention the smug, holier-than-thou need to rub it in people's faces that you're so much better for using cloth instead of paper. I guess I don't see the "humor".
costco sells a 60-pack of small white cloth towels for about $15. you can use them instead of paper towels, the pack should last you at least 6 months, then wash the bunch and use them again.
sounds like you'd be better off getting someone you know to screen print them for you.
$20 for two. eek.
The idea is... ok... and by the idea I mean "don't use paper towels unless really, really, really necessary"
but a true green option would be, turn old sheets you don't want or old dress shirts into napkins for people to use.
Re-use, but do not follow the propaganda of the companies looking to make money out of "green" tendencies.
How green is it ?...I concur with SFdiana....it has been a practice at home to use soft cotton sheets ((old) cut up and edges sewn) as hand towels. This is green..not going all out to buy new stuff!
