As we are approaching the colder months, having a warm towel to dry you quickly after a shower or bath is essential. With a wide variety of towels to choose from, we have narrowed down the distinguishing characteristics and what really matters when selecting your new set of towels.
What to look for when choosing a towel
1. GSM: GSM stands for grammes per square metre. It refers to the density and heaviness of a towel. Generally, as a rule, the higher the GSM, the thicker your towel will be.
2. Material: With each material offering different properties, the most popular towel material is cotton due to its breathable and absorbent qualities.
3. Construction: Whether you are looking at Zero Twist or Hygro technology, the way the towel is constructed will impact the finish.
4. Colours: If you are looking to match your bathroom décor or contrast it with a pop of colour, the spectrum of colours available is important.

Tips and Care Advice
1. Wash before use. See the care label before washing; wash with similar colours.
2. Shake towels before and after washing to reduce drying time and avoid creasing.
3. Watch out for zippers, hooks, and Velcro that may snag the loops when washing.
4. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they will decrease the absorbency of your towels.
