Know before you buy
Unlike traditional looped terry cloth, this towel features a jacquard knit construction. It is significantly lighter and thinner, offering a smooth, textured feel that is highly absorbent yet dries much faster than a plush, heavy towel.
Yes, the towel is crafted from 100% organic cotton and comes pre-washed, which breaks in the fibers to provide immediate softness right out of the package.
To keep the fringes in good condition, we recommend washing the towel in a laundry bag to prevent tangling. Avoid using high heat in the dryer, as this can cause the fringe threads to fray or knot over time.
Absolutely. Because of its lightweight, packable nature and quick-drying properties, the 95 x 165cm bath towel is an excellent choice for the beach, pool, or travel.
The pattern is achieved through a jacquard knit process, meaning the design is woven into the fabric rather than printed on top. This ensures the pattern remains crisp and color-fast over time.
