Product Description

The Kontex Vintage Waffle Towel combines the sophistication of expertly woven fibres with the comfort of lived-in textiles. Threads of cotton and linen intertwine into small plaits, creating a subtle mesh pattern of refined elegance. The compact design makes these towels highly absorbent, quick-drying, and lightweight, and the intricately braided weaving gives it a handcrafted sensibility. Perfect for daily use.

The 85cm length offers a generous drying surface that stays fresh throughout the day. Its breathable weave dries rapidly and hangs neatly in any space. Highly absorbent without the bulk, it is a refined bathroom essential that can be used for both hand-drying or as a lightweight hair wrap.

Also available: Kontex Vintage Waffle X-Large Bath Towel - Steel

Meet the Maker: Kontex

Established in 1934 in the famous towel-making capital of Imabari, Japan, Kontex has spent nearly a century perfecting the art of the Japanese towel. While modern manufacturing prioritizes speed, Kontex remains dedicated to a slow-weaving process. By using traditional low-speed shuttle looms, they avoid the high-tension stress of modern machines, resulting in a fabric that is exceptionally soft, durable, and highly absorbent.

Kontex

Kontex Towels have been making towels using century old techniques since their founding in 1934. Their towels are crafted in the famous Imabari towel region of Japan. Each Japanese towel is respectively woven on traditional low-speed looms using high quality threads, and washed with fresh spring water that Mt. Ishizuchi provides from melted snow. As a result their range of towels are incredibly absorbent, fast drying, durable, and environmentally friendly – an ideal addition to your bathroom or kitchen.
