Know before you buy
This towel features a jacquard knit texture, which gives it a slightly more structured and tactile feel compared to a standard terry cloth towel. It is pre-washed to ensure it feels soft and comfortable against the skin right out of the package.
No, it is designed to be lightweight and easy to handle. While it provides excellent utility, its construction is thinner than a plush, heavy-weight bath towel, making it ideal for quick drying and everyday use.
To keep the fringes in good condition, we recommend washing the towel in a mesh laundry bag to prevent them from tangling or snagging in the machine. Always follow the care instructions on the label to maintain the integrity of the organic cotton.
The 'loves me, loves me not' pattern is created through a jacquard weave. This means the design is woven directly into the fabric, resulting in a durable, high-quality finish that won't fade or peel like a surface print.
The towel measures 36 inches in length and 18 inches in width. These dimensions make it a versatile size for a guest bathroom or as a decorative accent in your primary bath.
