"I got this in celadon and natural and they are beautiful and soft! They are kinda pricey for towels, but the quality and look is worth it. I've only had them a few months, so I can't comment on long term durability, but I would recommend them to anyone anyways. The natural is a pretty butter cream-ish color that should match anything. The celadon doesn't quite match the picture, but I actually liked it better the way it came."
"These are the first organic towels that I have ever owned.
Some things that I have noticed that I find a pleasant surprise:
The biggest plus for me is that they came out of the box minus that horrid smell that has accompanied all the other towels I have bought the last several times. The smell that takes more than 10 washes to get rid of. By that time, the towels are starting to wear. Not these towels. They barely smell like anything when they arrive and actually come out of the wash with the nice clean smell I love.
They are a perfect thickness to me as they work well, are not too light but are not heavy either. They dry me off quicker & better than the regular cotton towels I have used before.
They also tend to dry out faster between uses than the regular cotton. This is especially noticeable on the hand towels. Although they can occasionally get fairly damp with a lot of use in a day, they are never useless and dripping like the ones I've had before.
If I had to sum them up, I would say I finally really understand the directions "pat dry". A simple "pat" of a towel has never really been quite as sufficient for me before."

"I bought my first set of these towels last year when they were featured in InStyle Magazine. The towels have been in my rotation ever since and they've held up fantastically. They're as soft as when I first got them. I now own 4 sets!"
