Towels from Italy, France, Turkey, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal, and the U.S. are stocked plain, with borders, or can be customized. We also have an amazing selection of linen guest towels.

There are three things you must consider when choosing a towel:

1. the quality of the material.
2. the length of the loops.
3. the density of the loops.

For towels of identical material

1. a towel that has longer loops will be softer.
2. a towel having a greater number of loops per square inch will be more absorbent.

Both of these point towards a heavier towel being softer and more absorbent.

You should therefore look for a heavier towel with longer loops. The weight is usually indicated on towel packaging, with a figure of 600 gsm (grams per square meter) typically indicating a "good" towel.

A bath rug is generally used in front of the counter/sink, while a bath mat is generally used in front of the bath/shower.
