Egyptian Cotton Face Towels
Every face towel here is Egyptian cotton and every one measures 13 x 13 inches, so the size question is already settled. What changes is the line and the pack size: Madeline comes in a set of 6, Heritage in a set of 10 and Niles in a set of 12. Madeline and Heritage are thick solids with a braided or rope border, while Niles uses a Giza cotton pile with a diamond dobby border. Use them as washcloths, face towels or guest-bath extras.

How to Choose Egyptian Cotton Face Towels
Count how many you go through. A washcloth is often used once and then washed, so pack size matters more here than with bath towels. A set of 6 covers one person between laundry days; 10 or 12 suits a couple, a family or a rental.
Match the border. The braided (Madeline), rope (Heritage) and diamond dobby (Niles) borders are the easiest way to tie face towels to the hand towels on the rail. Pair them with our Egyptian cotton hand towels in the same line.
Decide on weight. Madeline and Heritage are heavy and plush, so they hold more water and dry more slowly. For lighter, quicker-drying fibres such as zero-twist or Turkish cotton, browse all face towels and washcloths.
