KONTEX Lattice Linen Imabari Towel

The blend of cotton, linen, and ramie creates a unique, slightly crisp texture that softens significantly with every wash. While it feels more structured than a traditional plush towel, it remains gentle on the skin and becomes increasingly supple over time.

The waffle structure is durable and designed for daily use, but like any textured fabric, it can catch on sharp objects like jewelry or rough fingernails. We recommend washing it in a laundry bag to maintain the integrity of the weave.

Yes. The waffle weave increases the surface area of the fabric, which allows it to absorb moisture much more efficiently than a flat-weave towel of the same weight. It is highly effective at drying the skin quickly.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the towel's natural absorbency over time.

Because of its lightweight construction and waffle weave, this towel promotes excellent airflow and dries much faster than heavy, high-pile terry towels. This makes it a great choice for humid bathrooms or frequent daily use.

KONTEX uses pure snowmelt from the Ishizuchi Mountains to wash the towels during production. This water is exceptionally soft and free of minerals, which ensures the fibers remain clean, fluffy, and highly absorbent from the very first use.
