Bath Towel Basics
Towels are all around us in a variety of sizes and colors and made from various things. Here is the breakdown of the towels that we have on our site. All of the towels we currently carry are made by Christy, who has a tradition of excellence.
- Renaissance Collection
- Organic Towels
- Prism: Color for Living
- Hotel Collection
- Waffle Organic Line
- Opera Jacquard Line
Care of each of these lines is detailed here:
Laundering- Wash similar colors together with soft water and detergent but not fabric softeners, which contain silicons that will cause the towels to repel water. Deep colors should be washed separately. Avoid detergents that contain brighteners and whiteners as these will affect the color of your towels. Avoid contact with bleach and bleach-related products. These will remove the color from your towels permanently. These can be present in facial cleansers, cosmetics, skin treatments, and bathroom cleaners.
Drying- Tumble drying on a medium heat will give towels the softest finish.
Everyone has different needs. After reading through the links above, you should have a better idea which line matches your needs and desires the best.
Opera Jacquard Line
Opera Jacquard line of towels allows you to add a designer touch to your bathroom. Made from 100% cotton, these towels feature a traditional damask pattern in bright, modern colors. The damask pattern is on the bath towel and the hand towel. Coordinating solid color wash clothes complete the line.
The sizes available are bath towel, hand towel, and wash cloth. Opera Jacquard is available in Charcoal, Satsuma, Palm, and Teal.
Waffle Organic Line
Our Waffle Organic Line is textured indulgence. Christy cultivates, harvests, and processes the cotton to ensure it is free of pesticides, herbicides, and other harmful chemicals. To ensure the purity of this line, the manufacturing process is separated to further avoid contaminations. Certified cotton means nothing gets in the way of treating yourself and the planet right. These towels feature a textured weave and soothing colors.
The sizes available are oversized bath towel, hand towel and wash color. The Waffle Organic colors available are white, ivory and taupe.
Prism Towels
Prism towels offer Color for Living. These sumptuous towels result from the wonder 100% cotton and the miracle of Zero-Twist yarn technology. Zero-twist fabric can only be constructed from longer staple cotton yarn. The lower the amount of twist in a yarn, the more plush a towel will be. These soft and plush fibers create a fluffy towel with a suede-like texture and excellent absorbency. These towels feature a triple woven border and refined end hems.
This line has 4 sizes: bath sheet, oversized bath towel, hand towel, and wash cloth. (Coordinating tub mats and bath rugs are available.) Prism towels are available in 11 colors: white, vanilla, flax, moss, splash, smoke, spice, chili, deep orchid, merlot, and java.
Organic Towels
Organic Towels are made from 100% certified organic cotton. This is the choice for those who appreciate nature’s best. Christy cultivates, harvests, and processes the cotton to ensure it is free of pesticides, herbicides, and other harmful chemicals. To ensure the purity of this line, the manufacturing process is separated to further avoid contaminations. It has earned the third-party Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification by the Institute for Market-ecology (IMO). The result is a towel that is both skin-friendly and earth friendly.
This line has a bath sheet, oversized bath towel, hand towel, and wash cloth. Organic Towels are available in 10 colors: white, cream, oatmeal, wheat, sage, mist blue, ocean blue, desert sand, mulberry, and deep taupe.
Renaissance Collection
Renaissance Towels are made from the finest Egyptian combed cotton. Egyptian cotton is highly absorbent and luxuriously soft. And it only gets softer after repeated washings. Combed cotton involves a step that is taken to make the finished product softer and stronger because the shorter and breakable fibers have been removed. In addition, the straightened fibers lie together more tightly after combing, making combed cotton thread less likely to fray and unravel. These towels have a unique European woven border.
The items in this line are bath sheet, over-sized bath towel, hand towel, finger tip, and wash cloth. (Coordinating tub mats and bath rugsare available.) The Renaissance collection has the most colors options with 18 choices: white, parchment, honestly pink, vintage rose, crystal, tweed, midas, alabaster, gingersnap, driftwood, walnut, frost, smoke, soft chambray, navy, mauve, damson plum, and black.
Hotel Collection
Hotel Towels are a thick, lush indulgence. These towels are made from heavyweight, 100% two-ply Turkish cotton. Turkish Cotton is a luxurious long-staple fiber. Known for its strength and natural shine, Turkish cotton is a worthy competitor to Egyptian cotton. It is also famous for its durability and softness. Initially, Turkish cotton will not be as absorbent; but after several washings, it is. This is due to the long-term fiber integrity that Turkish cotton has – it will maintain its resiliency over time.
The pieces offered in this line are an oversized bath towel, hand towel, and wash cloth. (A coordinating tub mat is also available.) The Hotel Collection is available in 4 colors: white, ivory, linen, and slate blue.
