OK, first the cravats: I haven’t had the long so I will not speak to their durability, or their softness on]ver the long haul. Some of the complaints I read, I didn’t experience. So, let me explain how I handle towels and maybe find the differences there. 1. I don’t wash towels with detergent. Ever. I use a front loading HE washer. I fill the fabric softener bay with distilled white vinegar. I also fill the bleach bay with the same. I put nothing in the detergent bay. I also request an extra rinse. 2. I don’t use fabric softeners of any kind. They generally end up coating the fibers which reduce their water absorption. 3. I used cold water on the permanent press cycle which limits the agitation and spin velocity. 4. I dried on the low setting. 5. I was careful not to stretch the towels moving them from the washer to the dryer. I found after washing, the fibers fluffed up nicely. There was no visible lint in the washer. It did take two sessions to dry them. After the first session, I found moderate lint on the filter. After cleaning it off and running a second session, I found a light layer of lint on the filter. I’ve never had a towel that didn’t leave a fair amount of lint, so this seemed normal to me. Were the plush? Define plush. The towels fluffed up to about 1/4-3/8" after drying. The towels were very soft to the feel and after using them a few times, they were very absorbent. I dried off easily and they were dry before used them again. So nothing I can complain about there. There was no change to the color after washing, but I will say, I like lighter colored towels so mine are the lighter green. Darker may show bleeding more. But, this is one reason I don’t put anything in the detergent bay. I want the vinegar eased into the water. Also, my water is softened which may help the feel of the towels. All-in-all, I’m very happy - so far. Read more
As a man over 6 ft I was always sick of using wash rags that were too small, too thin, or have that pointless flat woven stripe across it that doesn't collect lather worth squat because I'd have to grind my bar of soap down having to relather them 3 or 4 times just to wash my entire body. Not with this rag! With its big size and thickness the pattern creates. I can lather it up once and use it for my entire body head to toe. It's very soft too but it doesn't shed, and the red color was perfect to show that. Another surprise I noticed is that it actually cut my shower time from 25 minutes to 15 saving me a little on my water bill. It's definitely a high quality fancy looking, yet effective wash rag worth it's price. I can't ever use a scraggly rag again. Read more
I use these as my kitchen towels because the color pops and they’re nice and thick. They absorb the moisture quickly and are a nice touch in the kitchen. Read more
I love these towels and I’m buying another 6-pc set today! I bought these in September for guests to use and they’re wonderful. I bought the dark tan and it’s a warm medium shade, very neutral, and goes well in my contemporary gray and white bathroom. I love mixing neutrals and these towels blend perfectly. I washed/dried twice before using because if the fluff/lint factor. They are pretty dang awesome. I’m buying a set in gray and white today. Again, mixing neutrals makes me happy. These towels are of standard size, not like a bath blanket size. The washcloth is not too bulky. The hand towels do dual duty as actual hand towels and perfect to spread on the floor and step on outside of the shower or tub. Seriously, love this set. Holding up well to daily use and laundering.

Love the quality and feel The color looks awesome The lint is a doozy tho when washed and even after three washes hubs complains about fuzz on his body after use- but I love them Read more
Even the packaging was upscale. The towels are SO soft... thick and full, just as I like. Very absorbent, and the washcloth does the job. I'm purchasing this brand again soon! Yes, there's a lot of lint the first couple of washings... but it has not affected to quality of the towels. LOVE THEM! Read more
Great towels. Look lovely, easy to clean and fluffy after multiple washes. Read more
These are, hands down, the best towels we’ve ever owned! They seemed amazing right away—beautiful color, loft, and construction— but I was curious if they would STAY that way. Yep! After many washes, they are still fluffy and vibrant—no issues! Even on the first wash, the color didn’t bleed and there wasn’t an excess of lint. As promised, they dry super quickly (my favorite feature!) and fluff right up. Stitching is tight and they still look new after each wash. So cozy and decadent! We were gifted with one set of these towels when we moved into our new house. I was smitten right away and ordered an additional set. These towels feel luxurious, but are durable and perfect for everyday life! Read more
