Obakki Hand Towel

Because it is a blend of 70% linen and 30% cotton, this towel feels lighter and thinner than a traditional plush terry cloth towel. It has a slightly textured, crisp hand-feel that softens significantly with every wash, becoming more absorbent and supple over time.

Yes. While it lacks the bulk of a heavy terry towel, the linen fibers are naturally highly absorbent and efficient at wicking moisture. It is designed to dry your hands effectively while drying itself out much faster than thicker towels.

These towels are machine washable, which makes them easy to maintain for daily use. We recommend washing in cool or warm water and hanging to dry, which helps preserve the integrity of the handwoven fibers and the longevity of the piece.

Absolutely. Given its generous 118 cm length and decorative aesthetic, it works well as a small kitchen towel, a tea towel, or even a stylish accent piece draped over a basket or shelf. Its versatile design allows it to transition easily between functional bath essential and home decor.

As with most natural fiber textiles, you may notice a very slight shrinkage after the first wash. However, because it is handwoven, the weave is designed to be durable and stable, so it will maintain its shape and size well with proper care.
