Superb towels
rating: 4
I think I've only held a better towel a couple times in my life, at very chic hotels. However, this is a superb towel for anyone's home.
My 5 year old ones felt like sandpaper in comparison.
Note to self: Order 5 new towels every 3 years. It's just $100.

Excellent Product

Christy Bath Sheets have made me a "towel snob". They are the best towels
I have ever owned and the largest bath sheets I have ever seen. Whatever they cost, it is a bargain.

Terrible quality towels - NOT made in England either...
rating: 1
These towels leave lint everywhere... Even after washing... They are Made in India, and are cheap quality... Since when did Christy's of England start making their hand towels in India? The hand towels are still made in England, but these bath towels are some of the worst quality I've seen :(

I love these towels!

These towels are the best I've ever used. They are softer than any towel I've ever owned, yet also more absorbent. In the past I bought a set of "Hotel" towels at Marshall Fields that were incredibly soft--but they were not at all absorbent. I used them once and gave them to my cleaning lady. Christy's Embrace is both soft and absorbent and does both very well. They are made of silk, modal and cotton. If you aren't familiar with Modal, it's a fairly new fiber "invented" in Europe. It is made from cellulose from the husk of beech trees. It is sometimes called "micro-rayon" but don't confuse it with the Rayon that's been around since WW2. It's incredibly soft and 50% more absorbent than cotton and it won't pill or ravel.
The new towels do have a lot of extra "fluff" that needs to be removed before use. I just put them in the dryer set on Air Fluff and keep running it through air fluff cycles until the lint trap is fairly clean after a cycle finishes. I have used towels that are heavier than these, but the Embrace towel is heavy enough and is a wonderful product.

Soft and Durable
rating: 5
I discovered Christy towels on a London trip, they were the softest I had ever felt. Because the towels supplied by the gym where I exercise are like sandpaper I bought some of the hand towels to use when I work out. After a year, not only are they still soft, they also still look good, even with numerous washings.
