Acorn Jacquard Cotton Towels - Mineral Blue

These are pure cotton jacquard towels carrying the Acorn design, a classic Morris pattern of acorns and foliage worked into the weave itself. Because the motif is jacquard rather than printed, it reads on both faces of the cloth, so there is no wrong side to the towel and no design that fades where a print would. The photographs show a soft mineral blue ground with the foliage picked out in cream, finished along one border with a slim woven wave trim in the same cream. They come in four sizes, from a hand towel up through a bath towel to bath sheet and an extra-large bath sheet, so you can dress a whole bathroom in one design.

A jacquard towel like this sits well in a bathroom where you want the towels to be part of the scheme rather than just kit on a rail. The mineral blue is quiet and cool, an easy match for white tiles, painted panelling or natural wood, and the Morris foliage gives it the kind of pattern that suits a traditional or country bathroom without shouting. Hang a hand towel by the basin and keep the larger sizes folded on a shelf or ladder rail, and the shared design pulls the room together. It works equally well as a guest towel where you want something with a little character.

The cloth is woven from 100% cotton, which is why it is so absorbent and why it takes a hot wash without complaint. Being all cotton it will soften with each wash rather than wear stiff, and it dries and launders as a good cotton towel should. The double jacquard construction gives it weight and body in the hand. If you like this design, it runs across the full range of towel sizes so you can build up a matching set over time.

Is the acorn design on both sides of the towel?

As pure cotton they take a warm wash well and hold up to regular laundering, softening over time. Wash before first use so they reach their full absorbency.
