Imabari Waffle Towels
$25
Story
Woven in Japan by
The Ishizuchi Textile Mill
Lightweight, incredibly soft, and quick to dry, say hello to your new can’t-live-without staples. Loomed with an oversized waffle construction, these waffle towels are more breathable and absorbent than your run-of-the-mill versions. Designed in three fresh hues and finished with a refined, flat-edge border, they’re as handsome as they are functional.
Each towel is made with long-staple Pima cotton and loomed in the oldest, family-run mill in Imabari that has spent 100 years perfecting the art of towel making. From weaving to dyeing and washing, each step is done in a fair-trade environment.
Note: Available in three sizes — face towel / washcloth, hand towel, or bath towel.

Care
These cotton towels can be machine washed on cold with like colors. Tumble dry on low. Do not bleach.
After washing, the waffle weave will deepen and shrink a bit, developing a more organic character over time. We recommend hanging on a rack instead of hooks – the hooks will stretch out the weave over time.

United StatesWe love these towels and want to replace our entire collection with this. Super light weight for quick drying.
United StatesFirst - the size of the towels are way bigger than you would have originally anticipated. Second - they're super soft, but knowing they're going to get even *softer* is amazing and I am super looking forward to it. They get softer as you *use them,* which speaks to the quality of this material. I purchased four sets of these for just my boyfriend and I to use - guests get the ugly towels for now. When we move into a place with two bathrooms, I'm going to buy a second set of a few of these in a different color (ours is in gorgeous indigo), so that it can be a specific set of guest towels JUST for guests. They're gonna feel like they're walking into a spa. Next wish is for the hinoki wooden mat!
Hi Jaime, Thanks for sharing your experience with our Imabari Waffle Towels. These were definitely designed to create a spa like experience - and we're so glad you love them as much as we do!! I'd say the Hinoki Wood Mat would definitely go well in your space - and you won't regret it!! We're expecting more to land in mid-April, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates regarding when they become available! We're here if you need us - just reach out to us at assistant@the-citizenry.com!
United StatesThis towel set is really soft & absorbent. I was thinking it would be more decorate and less functional, but I find myself grabbing these towels all the time!
United StatesSize is perfect, feel is luxurious, it is unique and drys so fast. You will not be disappointed in this purchase!
United StatesOverall I am a fan of these towels. They absorb water well and the coloring is as pictured. They are also thicker than other Japanese waffle towels that I have purchased in the past, but not so thick that they feel heavy in the summer. The only downside is that I didn't realize the bottom edges would look less flat and polished after washing. They get some waviness to them.
