Poor quality
Threadbare, very cheap

We know how important it is for our customers to receive products that are built to last and we would appreciate the opportunity to find a better solution for you!

Disappointed
I don’t typically leave reviews but I would have wanted to know this information before I purchased these towels. I ordered them towels based on the reviews. However I was quite disappointed with the absorption. People say they are absorbent but I find that my body is still damp. This is ok if you live in Hawaii but not for the PWN. I would return them if I could. They are way too expensive for them to leave your body damp. The other thing is they are beautiful out of the box but once washed, they lose their shine and look worn. The only consistency with the other reviews is their softness. They are very soft.
The Citizenry
Hi Misha, We really appreciate all the feedback and thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are sorry to hear that these towels were not as absorbent as you had hoped. We would like to take the opportunity to chat through other styles in our collection that may be a better experience for you! Please reach out to us at assistant@the-citizenry.com if there is anything further we can do, we are always happy to help! Best, The Citizenry Team

Beautiful soft towels
These towels are beautiful, but they are a bit thin and snag easily.

Great Color, Thin Design
The color on these towels is a fantastic muted olive but the overall absorbency and material is very thin. I got a competing towel that feels much more absorbent overall.
The Citizenry
Hi Travis, We're happy to know that you were loving the look of your Mara Towels. These beauties are not only chic but also a functional addition to your space but we want you to feel confident in both roles! You should see these become more absorbent with use and washing- so give that a try! Let us know how we can help by reaching out to us at assistant@the-citizenry.com. We hope to help find everything you're looking for! Sincerely, The Citizenry

Not what I expected
Towel is super thin and doesn’t soak up water. The size was great and it’s soft but that’s all that I liked about them.
The Citizenry
Hi Brenda, We appreciate your note - thank you for sharing! We want our customers to feel confident in any purchase from us! We'd really like to chat about some alternative styles that may be a better match for the experience you were hoping for. Feel free to reach out to our Client Experience Team at assistant@the-citizenry.com, we're here to help! Sincerely, The Citizenry Team

Large and soft, but a bit too thin.
I really like how they are oversized, and very soft to the touch, but as far as waffle towels go, they are the thinnest ones I’ve ever seen. If you are looking at buying these because Citizenry is eternally out of stock of the Imabari towels, you will most likely be disappointed.
The Citizenry
Hi Justin, As you know, all of our products are handcrafted in small batches to encourage sustainable and heirloom-quality work from our artisans overseas. I understand that you were looking forward to purchasing those and we are so sorry to disappoint! The Mara Towels Collection are an excellent option if you are wanting a lighter alternative to the Imabari Towels. We understand if this is not what you were hoping for and would love to see how we can help! Reach out to us at assistant@the-citizenry.com and we'd love to help you find a better fit! Best, The Citizenry Team
