Wood Fiber Towels

These Kushel Towels Made with Wood are Superior Absorbent

— November 5, 2018 — Eco
A Towel made with wood? Yes, these ones are made of beechwood. Kushel creates superior coziness from truly organic materials. The towel is a blend of organic cotton and TENCEL Modal, providing increased absorbency and a luxurious feel.

Kushel towels come in a 600 GSM thickness and the innovative eight-pearl stitch maximizes the surface for even more breathability. Kushel offers Cloud White (a slight off-white), Bae Rosé (a super soft pink) and Slate Grey colors. The towels are produced in Portugal for outstanding quality.

Kushel makes it easy for people to live a more sustainable lifestyle, since it plants two trees for each towel sold and compensates the whole production emission and water consumption. Kushel is the first resource- and climate-positive textile brand.
