VINTAGE HILDAWARE QUILTED TEXTILE TOASTER COVER (New Old Stock)

This charming kitchen accessory is a "New Old Stock" (NOS) item from the HILDAWARE brand, still in its original vintage packaging. Featuring a delightful strawberry motif and a bold orange trim, this cover is a quintessential example of 1970s kitchen textile design.

BRAND HISTORY AND PROVENANCE HILDAWARE was a prominent brand within the South African textile market during the 1970s and 1980s, specifically known for producing coordinated "kitchen kits" and household linens. Based in Cape Town, the brand specialised in practical, quilted accessories that allowed homeowners to "colour-code" their kitchens. Their products were staple items in major South African retailers like OK Bazaars and Woolworths during that era.

DESIGN AND STYLE The cover features a classic 1970s aesthetic:

• Motif: Vibrant strawberries with green leaves, a very popular pattern of the time that complemented the "country kitchen" trend.
• Trim: Bright orange bias binding, which provides a striking contrast and fits the warm earth-tone palette famous in 70s decor.
• Construction: The fabric is quilted to provide padding, which protects the toaster from dust and scratches while maintaining the cover's shape.

DIMENSIONS

• Height: 28cm
