Your new retro bodyguard.

While the red checkered tablecloth may seem like a cliché Italian design choice, this blush checkered potholder exudes more of a modern retro look that we adore. Its pocketed side makes it easy to slip your hand in and out, keeping it secure as you handle that boiling pot of pasta water, while the loophole up top makes it perfect for hanging above the stove. Each checkered potholder is handmade in Calabria from [insert materials].
