We have created the softest, cutest towel you can buy. 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: an exceptional form of combed cotton called ‘long staple. It’s the most impressively 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.
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 is sustainably grown, meeting the highest social and environmental standards. It is a completely sustainable plant, with amazing natural properties:
• 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
The hood’s not just great for kids to wear. It’s also a handy thing to use to hang the towel up when you’ve finished with it. No more soggy, crumpled towels on the floor. The hood will keep the towel up wherever you hang it.
