Vive la Franc...
When I saw these tea towels at this mornings brocante in our village, I could not help but smile.
The reason for the smile, they have a price tag in francs.....a currency that has not existed since 1998.
The vendor explained that they came from a famous store called L'Aquitaine that no longer exists.
I could not resist buying them (5 in total) so if anyone wants a slice of history albeit not very old, they are 10 euros each and you will find them here.
I also have 3 vintage tea towels that came from the same vendor that are older - circa 1940's for the same price.
Bon diamanche a tous, Leeann x
Love them. I bought some similar tea towels when bicycling in northern France last year. We are returning in September to cycle from Normandy to the Mediterranean Sea. I hope I can put some found treasures in my bike bags.
ReplyDeleteOh I love these wonderful tea towels, so wonderful to see the price tag in francs!

I absolutely adore French tea towels! And I see why you couldn't resist buying them...we too stock such towels but your prices are a bargain! I am tempted to have them shipped to Australia... have a great week, and happy hunting! Tammy
