You literary have little idea about the quality of towels until you actually use them. I first ordered the bath mat and large bath towels but once I had put these to the test, I knew I had to order the hand towels to complete set. Super absorbent, super soft. I loved the look of these towels on the website but again, once placed in my bathroom....WOW!! They absolutely add that special touch of luxury. I am a big fan and will definitely be adding to my collection (have two more bathrooms to add to). Thankyou 'Miss April' for sharing the works of these very gifted artisans.
