Shinto Towel
Inner Pile Towel
$ 14.00 USD
The Inner Pile towel from Shinto is expertly woven by hand on traditional shuttle looms, a process that takes a considerable amount of care and time. However, it is necessary to create a towel that has two outer layers of baby-soft gauze and an inner layer of highly absorbent cotton pile. The resulting towel is thick and fluffy yet soft and light and perfect for drying off after a rejuvenating bath or a good snuggle when fresh from the dryer.
About Shinto Towel
Shinto Towel combines over one hundred years of knowledge and technical experience with an eye for innovation and creativity to create premium towels that disrupt the status quo. Their towels are characterized by their superior absorbency, luxurious softness, and a trademark handfeel that’s achieved through atozarashi, a post-weave refining process that removes all traces of starch, oils, and impurities from the fibers and results in an addictingly fluffy texture.
Materials: 100% Organic Cotton
Dimensions:
| Washcloth (S) | 9.05" L x 9.05" W |
| Hand Towel (M) | 32.28" L x 11.42" W |
| Bath Towel (L) | 51.18" L x 24.80" W |
Care: Avoid pulling loose threads and instead snip them carefully with a pair of scissors. Do not use chlorine bleach. Wash with like colors, especially in the beginning. The texture may be affected by different washing machines and/or laundry soaps. Avoid the overuse of fabric softeners as this may damage the fibers and reduce absorbency. Pulling or snapping the towel lengthwise while wet can cause the piles (the loops in the toweling) to stretch, resulting in gaps in the material. Handle wet towels gently. For best results, washed towels should be hung to dry in a shady, well-ventilated area.

Yukine Towel
$ 21.00 USD
The Yukine towel from Shinto features a characteristic “squeaky” feel that comes from their “atozarashi” refining method. This process takes place after the towel has been woven and it is used to remove any remaining starch and impurities from the fabric. While all of Shinto’s towels employ this process, the Yukine towel spends twice as long during this step in order to maximize the natural absorbency of the cotton. By using white cotton for the warp and dyed cotton for the weft, these towels are able to conjure visions of earth, water, or fresh grass peeking out from beneath fallen snow.

2.5-Ply Gauze Towel
$ 48.00 USD
Shinto took the middle layer of a traditional 20-count, 3-ply gauze, and replaced it with a half-weight weave to create a 2.5-ply gauze towel that feels both lightweight and substantial. Each style features an irregular weave that contributes a uniquely soft texture and a slight variation in dyes that creates an alluring depth of color. The 2.5 Ply towel is generously sized and features a unique “slim towel” sizing that can be used as both a washcloth and an accessory.
