Defined by exceptional softness and a beautiful monochrome two-tone design, Zen Gauze & Pile Towel is both durable & gentle on the skin, offering superb comfort and performance every time you use it. Spun with superior quality cotton, rayon, and fine “Shijima” charcoal powder worked into the very fibres of the textile, Uchino’s tireless craftsmanship and refinement has resulted in a beautiful & natural aesthetic that chemical dye’s could never render while also activating charcoal’s unique ability to absorb and eliminate odour. The microscopic pores on the surface of the Shijima charcoal brilliantly absorb odour molecules offering a towel with superior odour-eliminating properties. These absorbed odour molecules are cleansed during laundering, and can be eliminated completely by drying in open air and sun. The Zen towels will maintain this lasting charcoal effect through repeated use. As the charcoal naturally turns the fibres beautiful grey, this simple and unique colour can never be expressed with chemical dyes. Reminiscent of Japanese wabi-sabi pebble gardens, the Zen Charcoal & Pile Towels bring comfort and calmness while adding a sophisticated mood into your daily bath experience.
