Curator’s Note

We were immediately drawn to Meg Hawkins’ work for our Brighton studio because it perfectly captures the energy of the British outdoors. When testing this specific "Bee on Heather" towel, we were impressed by the quality of the 100% organic cotton; it is incredibly soft yet has the "thirst" needed for real kitchen work. We chose this range because it is made right here in Britain, supporting local craftsmanship while ensuring the vibrant purple and orange hues stay true wash after wash. Sam, Mybolife Curator

A Shropshire Masterpiece

Award-winning artist Meg Hawkins began her journey at her kitchen table in Shropshire back in 2015. Her unique watercolour style is designed to reflect the movement and life of the subjects she paints, using a "bleeding" technique that gives this bumblebee its fuzzy, realistic energy. By choosing this design, you are bringing a piece of the rolling Shropshire hills into your home, celebrating a brand that remains family-run and deeply connected to nature.

The Sensory Kitchen Experience

There is a wonderful, crisp texture to high-quality organic cotton that feels substantial and reliable in your hands. As you dry a warm plate, you’ll notice the fabric is lint-free and gentle, making it a dream for polishing glass to a perfect shine. Visually, the contrast of the bright bumblebee against the soft, misty heather provides a restorative moment of calm during your daily routine. It is a tactile reminder of a summer's day, even when the Brighton weather is doing its worst.

Who is it for?

This is a quintessential gift for bee lovers, garden enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the "boutique" feel of artist-designed homeware. It makes a delightful UK letterbox gift for a new home, a thank-you to a host, or simply a treat for yourself to brighten up the "engine room" of the house. It is designed for those who believe that even a simple chore like washing up deserves to be elevated by beautiful, sustainable art.
