Cotton Towels

A good towel is a small daily luxury. This edit gathers bath and hand towels in absorbent natural cotton — soft underhand, quick to dry, and built to stay plush wash after wash.

Look for long-staple cotton with good weight for the right balance of softness, absorbency and reasonable drying time.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good cotton towel?
Long-staple cotton with a weight around 500 to 600 GSM gives a good balance of plushness, absorbency and drying time.

How do I keep cotton towels soft?
Wash without fabric softener, which coats fibers and reduces absorbency, and avoid over-drying — a warm wash and medium dry keeps towels fluffy.

How often should I wash bath towels?
Every three to four uses is a good rule; let them dry fully between uses to keep them fresh.
