Made Here Luxury Bath Towel with US and Imported Cotton by 1888 Mills, Supporting USA Manufacturing - White

It's pricy for a single towel but I think it's worth it. It's a great towel, very thick, very absorbent, good size where it wraps around my spare tire with ease unlike my other towels which are a tight fit around my 41 inch waiste. Maybe 4 stars on the softness, but I'm a guy, it's perfectly soft for me. My only complaint, and it's a small one, somebody who shall remain nameless insists on throwing a bounce in with this when she runs the drier and the towel smells like poo-pourri. It holds the smell maybe cause it's thick, I don't know, but other than having to dry it separately, not with the sheets and other stuff, it's great. I've ordered another one. Now, it's just been a few weeks so I can't attest to how long it will last but it feels sturdy and I think it will last a long time. Overall - I love it. It's a 6 star item.

This review is for the bath towel only. I have not yet tried the hand towels or washcloths. I've owned one of these towels for about a year now, and it's been pretty great. It's super absorbent, large enough to wrap around yourself comfortably, and fairly soft. I've bought all kinds of towels over the last few years trying to find one that I like. I've had everything from the super cheap towels that you can barely wrap around yourself to the more fancy Egyptian cotton towels and so far this Africa bath towel has been my favorite. This towel is actually relatively thin when compared to others such as Egyptian cotton, yet it feels like it absorbs water just as well if not better. I am able to dry myself faster than with any other towel I've used so far. Additionally, the thinness makes it feel light, and not cumbersome like some of the thicker towels can be. I personally went with the white color for this towel. It pretty low maintenance... I just toss it in with my whites wash and it comes out looking good as new! I will definitely be ordering more of these.

The towels are plush and soft. Large enough for a tall person. Quite absorbent and easily hung up to dry for a second use. The towels wash well and are not dingy when they come out of the dryer. They are soft to the touch when wet. These are the same towels used by a major hotel chain, so they should last longer then those cheaper towels you find at discount stores. We have purchased six towels of the same brand and type and we really like them. I would truly say they were worth the price.

I've used a lot of towels in my life. Mostly hand me downs from my mom and towels that I borrowed from hotels. I was looking for a towel that would make me feel like a king for a few minutes while I dried myself off in the morning. I went to places such as Costco and my mom's closet to find that towel. I did not find what I was looking for until I searched Amazon. The reviews on the towel as well as helping some African villages made me order this the white towel. When I first used it, I thought it was a bit too fluffy. I immediately thought to myself that at least I've contributed 25 dollars to a village in Africa and helped in that way. However, after the 1st and 2nd wash of this towel, it has transformed itself into a wonderful, plush, ever so soft towel that is fit for a king! This towel is rather large, very soft, and very comfy in the morning. it's very absorbent and I'm glad I made this purchase. I can only speak for the bath towel and not the other small towels. I'm happy with it.

I was looking for some really nice, THICK towels to give to somebody as a gift. I've never owned or bought any myself, so I did A LOT of research into what the best plush and high quality towels may be. The criteria I wanted were: very thick, soft, & great absorbency (so it didn't feel like you were just rubbing wet cotton all over your body). I bought these towels cause a lot of reviews raved they were plush and had good absorbency. I was disappointed when I received them due to how they felt. They weren't the softest towel I've ever felt (Vera Wang brand at Kohls were much softer), and they reminded me of the white hotel towels you'd find at Comfort Inns or Best Western's (which I don't consider 'luxury'). They were thin/light and a little rougher than I wanted - by "rougher" I don't mean stiff or scratchy by any means, but it wasn't SUPER soft. Basically these towels did not impress me (and I've always bought Target towels). I did not test these so I am not going to comment on their absorbency or quality. I'm sure they're great towels but purely on how they felt, I returned them. I ended up going to Macy's and buying the Macy's Hotel Collection Luxury Cotton towels - AMAZING! The towels felt a lot softer than the Mills, and they were also a lot thicker and heavier feeling (which I prefer). I was really impressed with how soft they felt. The Macy's also dry/absorb VERY well, and very quickly. They don't even feel wet after I dry myself off. I can't compare them to the Mills though cause I've never used the Mills. I don't consider the Mills "plush" cause they're thin and not SUPER soft. If you prefer lighter towels then I'm sure these are great, and I LOVE the cause that these towels bring to Africa. But if you're looking for thick, heavy AND really soft towels I would recommend the Macy's over these Mills.

These are very plush and super absorbent. I did not notice any extra lint in my dryer, even when washing them for the first time. Some people suggested that using a softener may make these less absorbent, I don't think it's the case with a liquid softener - they come out super soft, fluffy and are still very absorbent. A HUGE upgrade from the Wamsutta towels we used to use. Those are like sandpaper compared to these. I ordered them in white and it's a beautiful bright white. The only slightly negative thing about the towels themselves- the white towels had a huge red tag sewn into them (the tag which shows fabric composition and country of origin). It took me almost an hour to carefully remove this tag from the 6 towels I purchased. If the tag had been white, I wouldn't bother to remove it, but I wasn't sure how red would do in the laundry (I was worried that it may bleed into the white). A separate note on packaging - Amazon, out of many many items that I have purchased from you over the years, this had to have been the worse-packed one! Individual towels themselves were fine - they were wrapped in plastic, but all 6 of them were thrown into a huge cardboard box which literally fell apart after I picked it up from the front porch. The tape that's supposed to hold the bottom of the box together wasn't holding anything. It's amazing the box made it in one piece to my house...

We received 4 of these as wedding gifts. I must admit that I added them to our registry in the first place only because it was a popular item others were adding to their registry! Luckily, they were completely worth the "blind" choice. Not only were the 4 we received so wonderfully large and soft, I ordered 2 more to have enough on hand when guests are over, I was so pleased with the quality and size. They have been washed several times now, and continue to live up to daily wear. Very sturdy cotton construction - a little stiff if line dried (which is remedied with a few shake-outs), but if run through the dryer they come out wonderfully soft. If you're looking for towels that will last you for years to come, these are definitely worth the price.

We're looking to replace all our towels and decided to try a couple of different towels before deciding. From Amazon we tried this towel and the Pinzon Luxury 820-Gram Cotton Bath Towel, White . Out of the box I thought this one would be the winner. It was soft and plush. My husband correctly said we should try it for a couple of weeks before deciding. After the first wash the Pinzon started to look better but after the second wash the 1888 Mills towel had gotten very thin and rough. The transformation after two washes was very surprising. I'm glad we only got one because it really hasn't held up after just a few weeks of use and a few washings. It's too bad because it seems nice at first and then quickly becomes thin and ratty.

Very heavy and thick. Should soften up after a few washes, but it really works well and feels great. Probably will buy at least one more for a set. Maybe more.

El producto resulto mejor de lo esperado, la tela es muy suave, absorbe perfectamente el agua y el tamaño es el idóneo para mi.
