Where Craft Meets Memory: The Story Behind Our Iconic Linen

Every piece we create carries a story. Yes : not just of design, but of collaboration, intuition, and time. Behind each towel, each napkin, each embroidered detail, there is a journey shaped by people, places, and a shared commitment to quality.

Our iconic kitchen towels and table napkins are produced in Hong Kong, a place that has become an essential part of the ZEST of Asia story. This connection didn’t begin with a grand plan, but rather with a simple moment of curiosity.

At the time, I was already working with a trusted supplier on our bath towels. These bath towels you know for their softness, thickness, and lasting quality. During one of my visits to their office, something caught my eye: a selection of tea towels. There was something quietly beautiful about them, something full of potential. I immediately felt they could become a natural extension of my the young collection of bath linen and table sets.

That moment became a turning point.

Debby, with whom I was already collaborating, believed in the idea from the very beginning. She supported me and helped transform that initial intuition into something tangible. What started as a simple addition has grown into a partnership that has now lasted over fifteen years.

In Hong Kong, I have developed a collection rooted in both quality and meaning. The cotton I use is of professional grade. I chose it not only for its durability, but for the way it feels and lives in everyday use. Each piece is designed with intention. I personally create the embroidery designs, drawing inspiration from symbols that evoke Asia. Subtleand poetic references that give each item its identity.

Debby helped me with her expertise in embroidery, ensuring that every detail is executed with precision and care. Our collaboration is built on trust and creativity.

Today, this work has become a collection I am truly proud of. Not just because of how it looks, but because of everything it represents: a long-standing partnership, a dedication to craftsmanship, and a deep connection between inspiration and creation.

At ZEST of Asia, every thread tells a story. And this one is woven with fifteen years of passion.
