Know before you buy
Because it is handwoven on a traditional loom with a tight cotton weave, this towel has a flatter, more refined texture than a plush terry cloth towel. It remains remarkably soft and absorbent while offering a more sophisticated, streamlined aesthetic.
Yes, the fringe is securely integrated into the weave. To keep it looking its best, we recommend washing the towel in a mesh laundry bag to prevent the fringe from tangling or snagging during the cycle.
The cotton yarn is high-quality and designed for longevity. To maintain the richness of the olive hue, wash in cold water with like colors and avoid harsh bleaching agents.
Thanks to its slim profile and tight weave, this towel dries significantly faster than traditional, bulky terry towels. This makes it an excellent choice for high-traffic bathrooms or kitchens where moisture management is a priority.
Absolutely. Its compact size and absorbent nature make it a versatile piece that functions just as well as a decorative kitchen hand towel as it does in a guest or primary bathroom.
