Crate & Barrel Hand Towel

Turkish cotton features longer fibers, which create a smoother, stronger thread. This results in a towel that is noticeably softer and more absorbent than standard cotton, and it tends to dry faster, which helps prevent mildew in humid bathrooms.

Like most natural fibers, you may experience slight shrinkage after the first wash. To minimize this, we recommend washing in cold water and tumble drying on a low heat setting.

The stripes are woven directly into the fabric, which ensures the pattern remains crisp and durable over time. This construction also gives the towel a more substantial, high-quality feel compared to printed designs.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce absorbency over time. Instead, try using a half-cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle occasionally to naturally soften the fibers and remove any detergent buildup.

These towels are designed to balance absorbency with a manageable weight. They offer a plush, comfortable feel without being overly heavy, making them ideal for daily use and quick drying.
