Christy is the UK’s leading towel retailer and offers a wide range of luxurious bath towels and robes. This should be your first port of call when towel shopping. You can start with a colour or browse its range, choosing from styles including Renaissance, Geneva Embroidered, Urbis, Gorgeous and Panache. The selection is very large and you can also buy towels made from fairtrade cotton in four colours.
Heal’stowel collection includes Aquis, made of Aquitex – super-absorbent, lightweight, compact and easy to carry. They come in a water-resistant pouch so perfect for the gym and while travelling. House is a basic range available in trimmed white. Also on offer are the Egyptian and White, Almond and Ice Teal ranges, available in white and coloured options. Heals also has cashmere gowns for men and women. Not cheap, but a wonderful touch of bathtime luxury – or a great gift.
John Lewis has a reputation for quality and all its towel ranges are tested for strength, shrinkage, absorbency and colour-fastness. They’re washed repeatedly to ensure they will stand up to years of use and still look and feel good. Choose from Classic, Egyptian, Hotel and Pima as well as soft cotton bathrobes in a wide range of colours. Also well worth checking out is its range of mats and boards.
Marks & Spencer has a stylish and practical towel range. Choose from luxury or everyday collections, or buy towel bales. Check out its Essential Pure Cotton collection, its Fairtrade towels or its high-end Autograph Pure Luxury range. This retailer also has a selection of bath mats.
Wallace Sacks is a family-owned company that markets products for all areas of the home including ceramics, vases, lighting, tableware, and glassware. Its bathroom section has a great range of towels including co-ordinating latte, mocha and cocoa sets for a delicious co-ordinating effect. Of course, if the classic combination of plain white and Egyptian cotton is more your line, you can get that too…
