This is a striped bath towel. the colors were beautiful as well as the monogram. Very soft, absorbent. Need to be careful with the towel, because the loops pull easily. Hairbrush, plastic, pulled out loops, which I had to trim.
For some reason, I like the face and hand towels much better than the bath towels. They are are very absorbent and hold up well in the wash. Love the ash blue color
I ordered two of these and loved the stripe and the quality of the towel. The only trouble was in getting the monogram correct, but it was eventually done right and I love the towels, which have a number of beautiful, versatile colors.
These premium towels are better than the L.L. Bean Ultra-Absorbent towels. I don't know why the Ultra-Absorbents are in their catalogue but the premiums are not, but they should be. I own several of both, and both are very good indeed; however, these premium towels are clearly better in every important respect and I believe are worth the extra few bucks. Make sure to dry all towels in low heat, in order for them to last longer.
