Know before you buy
The Gent towel is woven from 100% Belgian flax, which features a hollow core that allows it to absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp. Unlike cotton, linen becomes stronger and softer with every wash, offering superior durability and a unique, natural texture.
Yes, it is an excellent choice for glassware. Because linen is naturally lint-free and highly absorbent, it leaves a streak-free finish on wine glasses and crystal without leaving behind unwanted fibers.
To preserve the integrity of the flax fibers, wash the towel on a gentle cycle at a maximum temperature of 30°C. It must be line dried only, as high heat from a tumble dryer can damage the natural fibers over time.
These variations are a hallmark of the authentic, artisan-woven process used in Meulebeke, Belgium. Because the towel is crafted from natural flax, subtle shifts in texture and tone are expected and celebrate the handwoven quality of the material.
Absolutely. While it excels at kitchen tasks, its moisture-wicking properties and refined aesthetic make it a perfect, versatile hand towel for a guest bathroom.
