Know before you buy
The waffle weave increases the surface area of the cotton, which significantly improves absorbency and allows for better airflow. This design helps the towel dry much faster than traditional looped terry towels while maintaining a lightweight feel.
Yes. Because they are woven on vintage, low-speed looms, the cotton threads remain intact and soft, resulting in a gentle texture that is non-abrasive and safe for sensitive skin.
The Lattice Imabari towels are engineered for minimal shrinkage. While all natural cotton may experience slight movement, the high-quality construction ensures the towel maintains its consistent size and shape over time.
To maintain their integrity, wash in cold or warm water with a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and reduce absorbency. Air drying or tumble drying on a low setting is recommended to preserve the waffle texture.
The Compact Bath Towel measures 42.25" x 22.75", making it a space-saving option that is ideal for travel or smaller bathrooms. The standard Bath Towel is significantly larger at 57" x 33.5", providing full-body coverage.
