Hold me closer, tiny pot holder.
These just might be the cutest little pot holders we’ve ever seen. Shaped like little hats or bells, they provide just the right amount of coverage for a hot pot lid or handle (and there are two in the set, one for each side). These pot holders have a 100% cotton exterior and a wool felt interior for insulation, and are hand-printed, cut and sewn in The Rise and Fall’s Massachusetts studio.

Meet the Maker
The Rise and Fall
Florence, MA
Founded in 2005 by Josh Cohen and Laura Manning, this little design studio specializes in hand-printed textiles and home accessories. It certainly doesn’t hurt that said studio is in the sun-drenched top floor of a Victorian era-brush factory. They wholeheartedly believe in the ethos of hand-crafted goods and locally sourced, sustainable materials, too.

Awesome
I am so glad that I have ordered the pot holders. They are perfect and cute, as well . They are so much better than a kitchen towel.
so cute
These are so cute and well crafted . I wanted to keep them and love them ! But, they are difficult to use and very very small. I love the design and craftmanship , but I ended up returning them because they were too small to grab anything without getting burned and you have to slip your finger through "just so"
Good Idea, too small
I should have checked the size on these. Concept is great but they need to be bigger in size to avoid an accidental burn!
