Material Options and GSM

The Towel Shop’s table linen collection is available in a variety of materials and GSM levels, ensuring you find the perfect combination of luxury, practicality, and longevity.

100% Cotton

Cotton table linen is naturally soft, breathable, and absorbent. It offers a premium look and feel that complements both traditional and modern décor. With a GSM of 200–250, cotton linens drape beautifully and withstand repeated washing.

100% Polyester

Polyester table linen is known for its exceptional durability and wrinkle resistance. Lightweight yet strong, it maintains its colour and finish even after frequent laundering. Typically around 180–200 GSM, polyester linens are ideal for large events and commercial use.

Cotton-Polyester Blends

Blended fabrics combine the best features of both materials — the softness of cotton with the resilience of polyester. They are easy to maintain and retain their structure even after continuous use, offering a practical balance for restaurants and homes alike.

Damask Weaves

Damask weaves, often created from cotton or polyester, are woven on jacquard looms. This process gives them an embossed, textured pattern that reflects light beautifully, making them ideal for elegant or themed occasions.

GSM and Durability

Selecting the right GSM is essential to balance comfort, durability, and presentation.

• 180–200 GSM: Lightweight fabrics suitable for casual dining or events with quick setup and turnover.
• 200–230 GSM: Medium weight, perfect for homes, cafes, and professional settings requiring regular use.
• 230–250 GSM: Heavyweight, premium-quality fabric ideal for formal functions, offering a luxurious drape.

Care and Maintenance Tips

Proper care extends the life and appeal of your table linen.

1. Use mild detergent and wash at 40°C. Avoid bleach to prevent fading.
2. Air dry naturally or tumble dry on a low setting.
3. Iron cotton linens while slightly damp for a crisp finish. Polyester options require minimal ironing.
4. Fold or hang linens in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and preserve freshness.
5. Blot spills immediately and treat stains with gentle, fabric-safe solutions.
