Why 100% Natural Cotton Matters

For over 30 years, we've worked with farmers and manufacturers in the Indian Subcontinent to create defoliant-free Natural Cotton towels.

Why are defoliants a concern? Modern farming methods often require spraying Cotton with chemical defoliants, making it easier to pick, but it also means the cotton gets soaked. Defoliants can have a negative impact on people, plants and the land.

Product description

Why waffle weave?

Terry towels often hold onto moisture deep in the loops which causes them to stay damp & get stinky. Waffle towels are different - after washing & shrinking they form waffle squares exposing more surface area that allows them to breathe & stay fresh.
Do you have another style of waffle towel?

Yes! We have two styles: Classic Style & Modern Style. Both are made of 100% Natural Cotton, super absorbent & quick drying. But they do feature different fabric thickness, styling & colors. Check out our Amazon Store to view more details.
Where are the towels made?

Made in Pakistan. Owners, Kumy (a Pakistani-American) & his wife Ann (a native Nebraskan), have had close ties to farmers & manufacturers in Pakistan since 1990, & are proud of their pioneering & ongoing support of environmentally-safe manufacturing.
What size of Modern Styles waffle towels do you have?

Washcloth: 14 x 14"

Hand Towel: 20 x 37" (extra long)

Bath Towel: 32 x 62"

Bath Sheet: 40 x 80"

(Measurements before washing, expect 12-15% shrinkage)
Are these towels as soft as velour or terry towels?

Plushy softness comes with a price: it can hold moisture for a long time. While our towels do get softer over time, their waffle weave is a little bumpier, offering a gentle exfoliation that most people actually end up appreciating.
