500GSM Royal Egyptian Hand Towels

500 GSM Royal Egyptian Hand Towels — 100% Cotton for Daily Use

Specs

Hand towels take more washing per week than anything else in the house. Dry your hands after cooking, after the school run, after every visit to the bathroom, and a thin towel starts bobbling within a few months. Ours are 500 GSM 100% cotton — thick enough to hold that weight through the wash cycles a hand towel actually gets, not the once-a-week wash a bath towel sees.

At 50 x 80cm they're sized for daily use rather than display, and the carded cotton construction keeps its density instead of flattening out after a handful of washes.

A hand towel earns its keep through absorbency that doesn't fade. Ours pull moisture off skin quickly and dry fast between uses, so they're never sitting damp on the rail by the time the next person needs them. The 500 GSM weight sits at the point where thickness and drying speed both work in your favour — heavier towels take longer to dry between the multiple daily uses a hand towel gets, which is exactly the trade-off worth getting right before you buy.

At home, these cover bathrooms, kitchens and downstairs cloakrooms without needing a heavier bath towel doing a hand towel's job.

Care Instructions

• Wash at 40°C with similar colours

• Skip the fabric softener — it coats the fibres and cuts absorbency

• Tumble dry on low or air dry

• Avoid over-drying, which stiffens the pile

FAQs

Are these suitable for daily use? 

Yes — that's what 500 GSM is built for.

How do they compare to a 600 GSM hand towel?

600 GSM feels noticeably heavier  and takes slightly longer to dry between uses. If your hand towel gets used more than a few times a day, 500 GSM dries faster without losing the thickness.If yours have started thinning already, our guide on why hand towels go hard and scratchy after washing covers the washing habits that usually cause it. 

Will the colour match my existing 500 GSM bath towels? 

Yes, our 500 GSM hand towels, bath towels and bath sheets are dyed from the same colour range, so you can order matching pieces at different times and they'll sit correctly together on the rail. If you're building a set from scratch, ordering a free face cloth sample first is the safest way to check a shade before committing.

Do you supply hotels and guest houses in bulk? 

Yes, there's no minimum order, so you can buy one towel or a few hundred at the same per-unit price as our trade customers.

Can they be tumble dried? 

Yes, on a low heat setting.
