Tools and Hardware Reviews of 1888 Mills Luxury Cotton Made in Africa Bath Towel, WhiteCustomer Review: Plush and super absorbent Summary: 5 Stars
These are very plush and super absorbent. I did not notice any extra lint in my dryer, even when washing them for the first time. Some people suggested that using a softener may make these less absorbent, I don't think it's the case with a liquid softener - they come out super soft, fluffy and are still very absorbent. A HUGE upgrade from the Wamsutta towels we used to use. Those are like sandpaper compared to these.
I ordered them in white and it's a beautiful bright white. The only slightly negative thing about the towels themselves- the white towels had a huge red tag sewn into them (the tag which shows fabric composition and country of origin). It took me almost an hour to carefully remove this tag from the 6 towels I purchased. If the tag had been white, I wouldn't bother to remove it, but I wasn't sure how red would do in the laundry (I was worried that it may bleed into the white).
A separate note on packaging - Amazon, out of many many items that I have purchased from you over the years, this had to have been the worse-packed one! Individual towels themselves were fine - they were wrapped in plastic, but all 6 of them were thrown into a huge cardboard box which literally fell apart after I picked it up from the front porch. The tape that's supposed to hold the bottom of the box together wasn't holding anything. It's amazing the box made it in one piece to my house...
