Japanese Shinto Inner Pile Hand & Face Towel, Grey

Japanese Shinto Inner Pile Hand & Face Towel, Grey
£24.00
Ex Tax: £20.00

A 100% organic cotton hand towel which has two outer layers of baby-soft gauze with an inner layer of highly absorbent pile. Thick and fluffy, yet soft and light, the long shape of this towel means it is great thrown over the shoulders for drying the face and hair, or hung over a rail in the bathroom. This towel will become more textural through repeated washing, enhancing its absorbency. Woven on traditional shuttle looms by hand, these towels are made in Senshu, Osaka by the Shinto Towel company — established over a century ago — a family-run business on a quest to produce the perfect towel, using environmentally low-impact production methods. Measures approximately 130cm by 63cm.

Care Advice

Wash at lower temperatures, up to 40°C, to prevent shrinking and colour fading. Do not use bleach, and avoid the use of fabric softener, which will reduce absorbency. Hang to dry in a shady, well ventilated area, and avoid using a tumble dryer. If necessary, set the dryer to low heat, or a gentle setting. If pilling occurs on the outer layer do not snip it off. Pull and stretch the surrounding areas of the towel to put the pilling back to its original state. If the pilling has come from the inner terry pile, snip carefully with a pair of scissors.
