Crafted in Mumbai from substantial linen, the KINTO FUTO Pot Holder ALI (200x130mm/9.06x5.12in) is absorbent, versatile, and easy to care for. It is perfect for everyday use, gaining a graceful richness and texture over time while bringing a natural presence to your kitchen.

A storied material
Every FUTO Pot Holder ALI is crafted in Mumbai, India, a region famous for textile production and a bustling cultural hub, where you can wander through endless streets lined with colourful markets and shops.
The linen is woven on a machine called air-jet loom, which produces a remarkably consistent quality. Skilled artisans wash the fabric to bring out its natural softness before precisely cutting and sewing it by hand, drawing upon years of experience. Instead of using an automated machine, the embroidery is done with a hand-operated machine that allows each pattern to be determined by the craftsperson.
Because so much of the linen's production is carefully handled by real people, its embroidery varies subtly in shape and thickness, giving every piece its own unique character.

The perfect shape, always
The FUTO Pot Holder ALI is made with double-layered linen with padded cotton in between, adding a moderate thickness that protects your tabletops (and your hands) from hot dishes.
Meanwhile, the cross-patterned stitching adds a simple accent that also helps every pot holder retain its shape, even after repeated washes.

More than a pot holder
Firm, quick-drying, and comfortably soft, the FUTO Pot Holder ALI is perfect for holding warmed dishes, coffee carafes, and other hot serving ware. It can also be used as a flexible oven mitt, with a wide surface area that safely wraps around handles and edges.
