What's the difference between Egyptian Cotton and Supima Cotton towels?
Both are luxurious long-staple cottons, but Egyptian Cotton is known for its strength and absorbency, while Supima Cotton is prized for its softness and durability. Both produce beautifully plush, long-lasting towels.
What GSM should I look for in a bath towel?
GSM (grams per square metre) measures a towel's weight and density. Lighter towels (around 400 to 500 GSM) dry quickly, mid-weight towels (500 to 600 GSM) balance softness and absorbency, and heavyweight towels (700+ GSM) feel beautifully plush and hotel-style.
How often should I replace my towels?
With proper care, premium cotton towels can last for many years. We'd suggest replacing towels when they start to feel rough, lose absorbency or look noticeably worn — typically every five to seven years for everyday-use towels.
How do I keep my towels feeling soft for longer?
Wash new towels before first use, avoid fabric softener which can coat the fibres, and use a gentle detergent. Tumble drying on a low heat helps maintain that fluffy texture.
