The Shinto Towel Collection
2.5-Ply Gauze Towel
$ 48.00 USD
Shinto took the middle layer of a traditional 20-count, 3-ply cotton gauze fabric and replaced it with a half-weight weave to create the 2.5-Ply Gauze Towel. Lightweight yet substantial, each style features a wonderfully soft texture and a slight variation in dyes that creates an alluring depth of color. This fluffy towel is generously sized and features a unique "slim towel" option that works as either washcloth or accessory.
About Shinto Towel
Shinto Towel combines more than a century of knowledge and technical experience with an eye for innovation and creativity to create premium textiles that disrupt the status quo. Their towels are set apart by their superior absorbency, luxurious softness, and a trademark texture achieved through atozarashi, a post-weave refining process that removes all starch, oils, and impurities from the fibers to create an addictingly fluffy texture.
Materials: 100% organic cotton
Dimensions:
Washcloth (S): 12.99" L x 11.81" W
Slim Towel (ST): 45.28" L x 11.81" W
Hand Towel (M): 39.37" L x 22.83" W
Bath Towel (L): 55.12" L x 34.65" W
Care: Do not pull loose threads; instead, snip them carefully with scissors. Wash on the gentlest setting, preferably in a mesh laundry bag. Wash with like colors, especially at first. Avoid the overuse of fabric softeners, as this may damage the fibers and reduce absorbency. Do not use chlorine bleach. Handle wet towels gently; do not pull or snap the towel lengthwise while wet. For best results, hang dry in a shady, well-ventilated area.

Inner Pile Towel
$ 14.00 USD
The Inner Pile Towel from Shinto is expertly woven on a traditional shuttle loom, a process that takes considerable amounts of time and care. However, this method 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 hot shower or rejuvenating bath.

Yukine Towel
$ 21.00 USD
By using white cotton for the warp and dyed cotton for the weft, Shinto conjures visions of earth, water, or fresh grass peeking out from beneath fallen snow through their beautiful Yukine Towel. The towel features a characteristic “squeaky” feel born from the company's traditional atozarashi refining method, which removes any remaining starch or impurities from the fabric. While all of Shinto’s towels go through this process, the Yukine Towel spends twice as long at this step to maximize the cotton's natural absorbency and create unparalleled comfort.
