Made with an original yarn that combines cotton and linen. The familiar, worn-in colours give this towel a vintage feel. The towel is a popular choice as it complements a wide variety of interior styles. The voluminous waffle weave reduces the surface area in contact with the skin during use, resulting in a smooth and comfortable feel. The use of linen in the material creates a towel that combines a refreshing feel with softness and elasticity. Furthermore, it dries faster than regular terrycloth towels, making it ideal for use during the rainy season when indoor drying is more common. This makes it ideal for the colder winter months.

The towel has been developed for the hard water climate of Europe, where cotton is prone to damage, so the weave, colour, and raw materials are all designed to minimise the appearance of deterioration. For the crucial final washing process of towel manufacturing, Kontex carefully and thoroughly wash the towels using groundwater from the Ishizuchi Mountain range, which has been selected as one of Japan's 100 best waters. This result is exceptional absorbency from the very first use, while retaining the natural softness of the material and maintaining a classic feel. Made in Japan.

Kontex

Since 1934, Kontex has been crafting high-quality towels in Imabari, Japan. Over the years the company has perfected the secret to producing towels with exemplary softness. Each towel is made from fine, garment quality thread that’s loosely twisted for the highest level of softness. Such threads would break on modern weaving machines, thus Kontex towels are gently woven on traditional, low-speed machines to maintain the integrity of the thread and achieve a level of softness that modern machines cannot produce. Kontex's production undertakes a meticulous cleansing process whereby each item is carefully washed with fresh spring water sourced from the melted snow of beautiful Mt. Ishizuchi. This process ensures every thread is free from impurities.
