“Le Carré washable paper towel – La Suisse

“Le Carré by Les Paillettes Vertes

“Le Carré” is a highly absorbent, soft, reusable and eco-friendly terry towel.

For absorbing liquids, cleaning the kitchen or bathroom, sponging your table, polishingwindows, washing your children’s hands or wiping the dog’s paws, “Le Carré” is ultra-versatile. Highly absorbent, it’s pleasantly soft and lint-free.

When the need arises, simply run it through the washing machine or dishwasher (up to 90°C!). To revive its color, a small bath in a warm solution of sodium percarbonate will restore its shine.

As you can see, “Le Carré” can be used again, and again, and again! It’ll last for months , and when it’s too worn, simply compost it.

Made from 100% natural fibers (70% wood cellulose / 30% cotton), “Le Carré” is perfectly biodegradable and even compostable! In fact, it decomposes in your soil or compost in 24 weeks.

This design combines the art of paper-cutting with the colorful imagination of Switzerland! Have fun finding the winks specific to each region of our country, cut with humor, tenderness and precision by Vaud artist Catherine Collet-Matringe.

About us…

Catherine Collet-Matringe

We discovered Catherine’s work at the 2023 edition of Bô Noël. We fell in love with this artist and the motif she created of Switzerland: look for marmots, gondolas, traditional costumes and our beloved Roger !

We’re delighted to present the fruit of this new collaboration.

Green Glitter tip

For us, “Le Carré” by Les Paillettes Vertes is pure and simple .

In Switzerland, we commonly use tons ofrolls of household paper or paper towels made from synthetic materials such as micro-fibre, viscose or polyester.

The former are single-use and produce an impressive waste of paper. The latter, which are washable and long-lasting, fray after a while, and the synthetic fibers disappear down the drain, just like conventional sponges!

Properly cared for and washed regularly,“Le Carré” will last for months, thusavoiding paper waste. Natural fibers won’t have any negative impact on the environment: on the contrary, they’ll nourish your soil and help you grow your salads!

What’s more, with a lovely choice of colors and patterns, “Le Carré” is just waiting to be adopted!”
