Towels

A towel is a towel, an item to dry yourself on and be discarded into the linen basket. Or is it? When it comes to designer towels a towel is not just a piece of cloth, it is a masterpiece in itself, designed to complement bathrooms or the beach.

A towel is traditionally made of absorbent material that wicks moisture away from the skin on contact. Towels are commonly made from cotton, but other materials are becoming popular such as bamboo, rayon, or non woven fibres. Designs are varied and colourful, or classic and refined, depending on individual tastes.

Designer beach towels pack a punch on holiday. Spreading a large towel across the sun lounger is not just a practicality, but a statement. Choose bold and brash, contemporary or artistic and use your towel to tell the world around you just who you are, in the same way as you pick your clothes carefully. A beach towel is just an extension of your fashionable self.

In the bathroom, designer makes such as Paul Smith Towels, Hugo Boss Towels or Ralph Lauren Towels can be used not just as a practical item but as part of your interior design. Find a design you love and decorate your bathroom around your towel to create a unique and personalised look. Don't overlook the humble towel but incorporate this necessary part of your home into a design element to be admired and envied. By careful planning designer towels will become a feature not just a piece of cloth on a hook.
