A Guide to Buy Perfect Hand Towel
Hand towels play a major role in daily routines. They are used frequently and need to be both absorbent and quick-drying. A premium bathroom hand towel adds style to a bathroom and brings comfort after every wash. Choosing the right hand towel is about balancing texture, weight, and quality. That’s why our range is designed with options to suit everyone, whether you're looking for spa-level indulgence or budget-friendly performance.
Types of Hand Towels – Cotton, Bamboo, and More
The Towel Shop’s luxury hand towels are crafted from a variety of carefully selected materials:
100% Cotton Hand Towels: Cotton hand towels are naturally breathable and quick to absorb moisture. They’re a perfect choice for both personal and guest use. Ring-spun cotton which ensures the fibres are strong and tightly twisted towels that can withstand repeated washing.
Cotton-Rich Open-End Yarn Towels: These towels are designed for institutions and businesses where bulk performance matters. Our cotton-rich hand towels combine cotton softness with synthetic strength for enhanced durability. They are especially suited for gyms, salons, care homes, and leisure centres.
Bamboo Cotton Blends: Our bamboo blend hand towels offer an ultra-soft feel with added antimicrobial properties, thanks to bamboo fibres. They are also more eco-friendly and naturally odour-resistant—an excellent option for modern, sustainable homes and hotels.
Zero Twist Towels: The Soft Touch Zero Twist collection uses advanced spinning techniques to ensure the fibres remain open and plush. This gives you towels that feel cloud-like against the skin while still drying hands quickly and efficiently.
GSM Explained: Choosing the Right Weight
GSM is a simple way to understand towel density. The higher the GSM, the thicker and more absorbent the towel.
- 400–450 GSM: Lightweight, fast-drying, and economical. These towels are best for institutional or frequent-use environments like gyms and hotels.
- 500 GSM: Balanced weight, offering softness and everyday absorbency. These are ideal for home and guest bathrooms.
- 600 GSM: Premium feel and higher absorbency. Suitable for boutique hotels, master bathrooms, or anyone wanting that little extra.
- 700 GSM: Ultra-luxurious and dense. Feels plush and comforting—designed to impress in premium settings or pampering moments.
Towel Sizes and Uses
Most hand towels come in a standard size of around 50cm x 90cm, making them compact enough for daily use while offering enough surface area to dry hands efficiently. They can be hung neatly on towel rails or hooks in bathrooms and kitchens and are also frequently used in spas and health clubs.
