Zara Bath Towel

Velour is sheared on one side to create a smooth, velvet-like finish, which makes it incredibly soft but slightly less absorbent than a traditional looped terry towel. It is best suited for those who prioritize a plush, luxurious feel over maximum water retention.

The print is designed for durability, but like all patterned textiles, it will maintain its vibrancy best if washed in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh fabric softeners, which can degrade the fibers and dull the pattern over time.

Yes, the cotton velour construction is gentle and soft against the skin. Because it lacks the rougher loops found in standard towels, it provides a smooth, non-abrasive drying experience.

High-quality cotton velour can produce some lint during the first few washes, which is normal for this type of weave. To minimize shedding, wash the towel separately or with similar items in the first cycle and avoid over-drying in the machine.

To maintain the soft, upright pile of the velour, avoid using excessive fabric softener, which can coat the fibers and make them feel stiff or flat. Tumble drying on a low heat setting with wool dryer balls can help fluff the fibers back up after washing.
