Know before you buy
The recess weave creates a textured surface that increases the surface area of the cotton. This design allows the towel to absorb moisture more efficiently than a flat-weave towel while maintaining a soft, plush feel against the skin.
Yes, the towel is designed for everyday use. Its 100% organic cotton construction is durable enough to withstand frequent washing while remaining gentle for daily bathing routines.
The towel is machine washable, making it easy to maintain. To preserve the softness and the integrity of the geometric pattern, we recommend washing in cool to warm water and avoiding harsh fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and reduce absorbency over time.
The pattern is woven directly into the fabric rather than printed on top, which helps the design remain vibrant and long-lasting even after repeated laundering.
The towel measures 55 inches in length and 31 inches in width, providing a standard, comfortable size for drying off after a shower or bath.
