I bought these "2 linen tea towels" "by François" off eBay for $14 in August: brand new, in their original box. But this is all the box says; it does not tell us who or what François is, where she/he/they/it were based, anything useful in fact. The towels themselves only add that they are "Colour Fast" and "Designed in Australia".
Looking online I found a few other linen tea towels and scarves signed "Francois by Neil": with eye-wateringly clichéd themes, and self-explanatory titles like "Wildlife of Australia" and "Kangaroos" or "Australian Aboriginal" and "Australian Aboriginal Weapons" etc.
So, we scored a pair of brand new vintage Australian 70s tea towels with a really bright, cheery design. And they work really well. And they look great in the kitchen too. Awesome.
