Know before you buy
These towels are woven on vintage looms in Imabari, Japan, using 100% organic cotton. This traditional process creates a unique texture that is significantly more absorbent and faster-drying than mass-produced alternatives.
Yes, the natural dyes are stable, but they require gentle care to maintain their vibrancy. We recommend washing them in cold water with a mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals like bleach.
The Graph Towel is designed for efficiency and comfort rather than high-pile fluff. It feels lightweight and breathable against the skin, offering a sophisticated, clean texture that dries quickly after use.
Absolutely. Because of its compact weave and quick-drying properties, it packs down much smaller than a traditional thick bath towel, making it an excellent choice for gym bags or luggage.
We advise against using fabric softeners. They can leave a waxy residue on the organic cotton fibers, which will eventually reduce the towel's natural absorbency over time.
