Tea towel with a golden donkey from the fairy tale
The Gold Donkey tea towel from 17;30 is a kitchen towel made of pure cotton with a fairy-tale donkey motif in gold, designed in Hamburg and screen-printed by hand. A tongue-in-cheek gold donkey for your kitchen.
Tea towel with a motif is what 17;30 likes to call a small picture with a story. On a light background stands a donkey in shimmering gold, fairy-tale-like and with a wink, which automatically brings a real gold donkey to mind. 50 x 70 cm of pure cotton that dries reliably and brings a smile along with it.
A gold donkey for the kitchen rail
The donkey shines golden on a light background, calmly drawn and with a wink. Anyone who knows the fairy tale will smile immediately.
The motif is applied by hand using screen printing; the gold shimmers subtly rather than garishly. Fairy-tale-like, golden, and friendly – that's how the Hamburg team likes it. Because every towel goes through the printing process individually, no two are exactly alike; small quirks are part of it and make your copy your own.
Table set yourself, gold donkey, and cudgel out of the sack – the old fairy tale is full of kitchen magic, and a bit of it hangs on your rail with this towel.
Drying with a golden shimmer
The cotton towel absorbs water from glasses, plates, and hands without leaving lint. A reliable kitchen towel for every day.
It can go in the machine at up to 60 degrees, lies smooth over the rail when ironed, and the gold stays beautiful. Pure cotton is the classic among tea towels; it absorbs a lot of water and becomes softer rather than worn out over the years. Hung where guests pass by, the fairy-tale motif naturally becomes a conversation starter.
Thrown over the shoulder or on the hook next to the stove, it is quickly at hand. You can find more tea towels in our kitchen corner.
A Hamburg idea from 2010
Behind 17;30 is a team from Hamburg that Anna Upleger founded on the Elbe in 2010 and which Quinn Upleger runs today.
The brand name refers to the time when the workday ends on the Elbe: half past five. From the first maritime lanyards, cards, paper bags, and tea towels with character were created from 2016 onwards. A tea towel is not just a tea towel, as Quinn Upleger likes to emphasize. 100 percent cotton, woven in India, finished in Hamburg with screen printing.
The wine was delicious, the mood was magnificent, and at exactly half past five, the decision was made to make beautiful things – that's how the story of the founding on the Elbe is often told. An idea among friends became a brand that today brings cards, bags, and towels into many kitchens. This ease of "quitting time at half past five" is still in every print today, from the cheeky sayings to the golden fairy-tale donkey. What started as a small project has long been a fixture for everyone who likes their kitchen a little more articulate.
