Ask which towel in the house wears out first and it's almost always the hand towel — it's used more times a day than a bath towel and washed just as often as everything else. A 500 GSM hand towel can start thinning within months under that kind of daily use. Ours is 600 GSM, a genuine step up in density from our 500 GSM range, built specifically to hold up under the frequency a hand towel actually gets rather than the once-or-twice-a-day use a bath towel sees.
At 50 x 85cm, it's the standard hand towel footprint — the extra weight is entirely in the density of the weave.
The point of going up to 600 GSM on a hand towel specifically is durability under frequent use, not just a thicker feel. More cotton fibre in the weave means it takes longer for repeated daily use to thin the pile, so it holds its texture and absorbency for longer than a lighter towel doing the same job.

At home, it's the upgrade for a family bathroom where the hand towel gets used constantly and wears out faster than everything else on the rail. Hotels and guest houses stock the same 600 GSM weight for rooms where hand towels see heavier turnover than bath towels — browse the matching 600 GSM bath towel to complete the set, or call 01204 455755 for a trade quote.
Care Instructions
FAQs
Is this thicker than your 500 GSM hand towel?
Yes, noticeably — it's a genuine step up in density.
Why would a hand towel need a heavier GSM than usual?
Because it's used more times a day than any other towel in the house. A hand towel wears out from frequency of use, not just wash frequency, so extra density buys you longer before it starts thinning.
How does 600 GSM compare to your 700 GSM double yarn hand towel?
700 GSM uses a double yarn weave for maximum density and a slightly longer drying time between uses; 600 GSM is a single-yarn weave that's thicker than our 500 GSM range without asking a frequently-used hand towel to dry as slowly. For most households, 600 GSM is the practical middle ground.
Do you supply hotels and guest houses in bulk?
Yes, no minimum order — call 01204 455755 for a trade quote.
Is it colourfast?
Yes, though washing separately for the first few cycles is good practice.
