Hand Towels
Quality Towels Since 1846 — We Know a Thing or Two
The hand towel is the hardest working towel in the house. It is used many times a day and washed more often than any other, so it needs to be absorbent, quick to dry and hard wearing.
Our hand towels are woven from cotton in weights from 450gsm to 800gsm, and most measure 50x90cm. Every range has a matching bath towel and bath sheet, and several add face cloths and bath mats. Egyptian Embrace hand towels also come as a pair.

Which weight should I choose?
A lighter hand towel, around 450gsm to 550gsm, dries quickly and suits a busy family bathroom or a cloakroom. A heavier one, 650gsm and above, feels thicker and more luxurious in the hand.
