Folia Embroidered Towel

The color

Grey does something the warm tones cannot: it puts the botanical band into relief.

The leaves are stitched in a silvered grey against a soft grey ground, so what you read is not color but light — the raised thread catches it, the ground does not, and the fronds appear the way a watermark appears when you tilt paper.

Up close you can see the whole construction: outline, filled body, veining laid over the top.

The cloth beneath is the same 550 g/m² combed Turkish terry with its fine allover jacquard, and on grey that jacquard shows too, which is why this colorway looks the most textured of the four even though every one is woven identically.

The weave

Combed cotton is cotton drawn through a comb before spinning, so the short fibers are pulled out and only the long ones are twisted into yarn. Fewer loose ends means less lint in the first months, a smoother hand, and loops that keep their shape through years of washing. At 550 g/m² Folia is a genuinely plush towel — substantial when you lift it, slower on the rail than a waffle would be, and that density is exactly what makes it absorbent. It is the towel for a long bath rather than a quick rinse.

• Combed Turkish cotton — longer, smoother fibers for an exceptionally soft, durable towel
• Plush terry weave — dense, velvety loops with a soft, luxurious hand
• Highly absorbent — designed to dry comfortably and efficiently
• Soft yet substantial — plush and indulgent without feeling overly heavy

Styling

Grey is the colorway for a bathroom that already has something to say — dark timber, black fittings, marble with movement in it. Where cream would compete and rose would warm, this one simply sits. It is also the most practical of the four in a bathroom in heavy use, since a mid grey shows a damp mark far less than a pale tone does. Beside Cloud White it gives a rail two tones without introducing a color at all.
