Leaf towel - towel discontinued by Leaf - review by js250

The Leaf Towel arrived nicely rolled up and had a natural paper band around the center. I really liked the gift-ready and environmentally friendly lack of commercial packaging. I am currently storing my 'towels' in a small wicker basket and have re-rolled them and tied them with brown twine.

The size of this item has me very baffled. These are NOT towels. They are extremely high quality and nicely made washcloths with upper scale detailing. They measure 13" by 12 5/8". The top and bottom hemming is a nice, diamond weave that is about 3/8" wide. The side hems are 1/4" wide and is the base cotton weave material the cloths are made from. The pile is plush and has diagonal rows that run the length of the cloth, minus the 1 1/2" band where the Leaf wording and logo is located. The material is very plush, absorbent and is super soft.

These miniature 'towels' are the size of a large washcloth, and to avoid confusion on my part, that is how I am going to refer to them from here on. I am also using them as washcloths and giving them as a part of a bath, spa or massage kit gift basket. These will look beautiful in anyone's bathroom. They also work very well for wrapping glass toys in and cleaning the hard surfaces of your toys prior to using them. I do have one that is being used as a doily under a small, square, wicker basket that holds candies on my coffee table. I have received a few compliments on the cloth and basket as a set.

The washcloths are made of 70% cotton and 30% bamboo. Bamboo material is natural, extremely absorbent, silky, soft and has mild antibacterial properties. Add cotton and you have a high quality and long lasting material.

You can wash these in a wash machine using cold water and detergent. Do NOT bleach, and tumble dry on low. I add a fluff dry to my towels and wash cloths to give them a bit more plushness.

The washcloth has a white background and the word leaf is machine embroidered with a glossy cotton thread. The leaf design is also glossy and machine embroidered but is a pretty lime green. These are pretty enough to include in a gift basket with massage, bath or spa kits. I would suggest re-rolling them and using either brown twine or green ribbon to tie them up. I ordered four of these washcloths, but am getting 8 more so I will have full sets for both bathrooms. Than I will start stocking up on them for gifts.

At five dollars per cloth, these make great fillers to add to your cart to make the free shipping quota. Decorative, tasteful, completely discreet and amazingly functional, these washcloths are worth every penny!!

I absolutely love these tick, absorbent and stylish wash cloths!! I am going to have to order two full sets for our bathrooms , and have a few for my gift baskets. The Leaf design is classy and discrete, making these a wonderful decorative accessory to your home.

After being washed about 5-6 times, these are softer than ever and they did not shrink!! Spoil yourself or someone you care about, order a few!!
