Crate & Barrel Turkish Cotton Towels

GSM stands for grams per square meter, which measures the density of the fabric. At 800 GSM, these towels are exceptionally heavy and plush, offering a thick, spa-like feel that is significantly more substantial than standard lightweight bath towels.

Turkish cotton is renowned for its unique balance of absorbency and drying speed. While the high density means they hold a lot of water, the long fibers of the Turkish cotton allow them to dry more efficiently than other heavy-weight towels.

To keep them soft, avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and reduce absorbency. We recommend washing them in warm water with a mild detergent and tumble drying on low heat to maintain their loft.

The set is designed to fully stock a bathroom, typically including two bath towels, two hand towels, and two washcloths. This provides a cohesive look and ensures you have the right size for every part of your routine.

It is normal for high-density, plush towels to shed some lint during the first few wash cycles. This will subside quickly, and the towels will retain their structure and softness with regular care.
