Christy Towels: A Brief History
Christy was established in 1850 when Henry Christy visited the Sultan Palace in Constantinople. He found a handmade, loop pile fabric which he took back to England for his brother Richard to analyze. His brother invented a machine to reproduce the terry material on a large scale. The first Christy towels were shown at the Great Exhibition of 1851. Queen Victoria liked the towels so much that she ordered more. Since that time, the Christy name has meant quality.
Christy only uses the finest natural fibers to create their gorgeous linens. Traditionally this has been cotton, but other natural fibers have been integrated since the beginning. Christy, since its inception, has been a leader in innovation and is proud to be the first UK manufacturer to use silk, micro modal, and blends of these in their products.
