According to Charlotte Swiden, her childhood on the southern shore of Sweden was spent climbing trees, eating strawberries, and looking forward to summer.

As this wacky winter (I’m looking at you NY) finally gives way to spring, summer has never been more enticing.

Charlotte celebrates the best of summer’s bounty with a bright array of fruity goodness, ripe for the picking, in her colorful collection of kitchen towels.

Pineapples mingled amongst cherries and pears hint at the fact that this Swedish designer is based in Melbourne, Australia these days. But with a last name like Swiden, Charlotte is never far from her roots.

Enjoy these towels that are larger than the norm and made of a thicker all cotton weave that makes them extra absorbent.

Whether they’re used to dry the dishes or simply put a smile on your face, get a jump on summer with kitchen must-haves that are irresistibly Scandinavian.
