Plain Dyed Terry Towel With Dobby Border and Hem
A 350 GSM plain dyed terry bath towel with a dobby border and hem, woven in 100% cotton. At 70x140 cm it fits standard bath and hotel use, and because the colour is dyed into the yarn before weaving, it resists fading through repeated washing. Buyers choose it when they need a consistent, durable towel for hotel linen, retail gift sets, or sports club use where wash fastness and a clean edge matter.
Samples in 10 days. Production in 45 days after the order. 30% T/T deposit and 70% balance before shipment, or L/C.

How This Compares With The Alternatives
| Reactive printed bath towel | Print allows for complex artwork and lower unit cost, but the design sits on the surface and fades faster. Plain dyed holds colour but limits visual detail. |
|---|---|
| Microfiber bath towel | Microfiber dries faster and is lighter to ship, but lacks the cotton hand feel and absorbency that buyers expect at a mid-tier price point. |
| Velour bath towel | Velour has a smoother surface and better print visibility, but the sheared pile wears down faster and the edge is less durable than a woven dobby hem. |
Use And Care Guide
- Wash below 40 degrees Celsius before first use to set the pile
- Avoid prolonged soaking, which weakens the woven border edges
- Wring lightly rather than twisting so the dobby hem does not distort
- Use a laundry bag when machine washing to protect the hem and border
- Do not bleach and do not use chlorine detergent
