Bamboo Towels

Creating a towel that feels like cashmere

We have created the softest towel you can buy. But it wasn’t easy. First, we had to find the perfect partner for our silky-smooth bamboo. Combined, the material had to be both fluffy and durable to make the ultimate towel.

Long staple cotton 

We left no stone unturned, searching all around the world for an alluring suitor for bamboo. We eventually found it in an exceptional form of combed cotton called ‘long staple’. It’s the most exquisitely refined cotton you can get, softer, stronger and sleeker than ‘normal’ thread. That’s because it has been elaborately processed before being spun into yarn. A perfect match for our natural bamboo! The result is magnificent – an absorbent and durable towel that feels like cashmere, weighs a substantial 600 gsm and stays fluffy and soft, wash after wash.

Naturally soft; fluffy by design

Bamboo material is naturally incredibly soft. We wanted to make sure it stayed that way when we spun it into a towel. 

Zero-twist

This is the gold-standard in luxury towel-making, and it only works with the strongest, smoothest fibres, like bamboo and long-staple cotton. The loops on the towel are left open – they don’t need to be twisted or spun multiple times for durability. This makes the Panda Towel less dense than ‘ordinary’ towels, so it stays fluffy for longer. It’s gorgeously soft and gentle on your skin, and won’t go hard or ‘crispy’ when it dries. It feels light, with more space for air between the loops, and more room for water, so it’s super-absorbent too. 

Our bamboo

Bamboo is an organically grown wonder-plant that grows up to three feet a day, providing high yields per acre, saving land. Our bamboo is sustainably grown in managed forests, meeting the highest social and environmental standards. It requires a third less water than cotton to thrive and doesn’t need pesticides, fertilisers or chemicals. 

We love bamboo because it’s:

• Naturally antibacterial, so it’s odour-repellent, which is perfect for towels that are used many times before being washed 

• Hypoallergenic, so gentle on sensitive skin

• Grown organically, with no pesticides, fertilisers or chemicals

Hanging straps

It’s annoying when towels fall into a soggy crumpled heap on the floor. Panda towels have a handy strap sewn into the outer-seam, so they will stay put wherever you hang them.
