Matouk Cairo Towels: Pure Simplicity and Versatility
In the world of fine home textiles, Matouk represents the pinnacle of luxury, beauty, and innovation. The Cairo collection of bath linens takes pride of place among the offerings from this legendary American linen manufacturer. Sewn from cotton terry woven in Portugal, Cairo towels are made in the Matouk Factory in Fall River, MA. They are plush and absorbent at a pleasing 625 GSM weight. The Cairo collection is uniquely beautiful, wonderfully versatile, and truly expansive with three “in-collection” styles and seven other designs that use Cairo towel fabric as their base.
“Cairo styles are plush, but not excessively heavy,” said Fine Linen and Bath Brand Manager, Erika Cellupica. “They offer a solid and luxurious feel with plentiful design options both within the Cairo collection and related styles, including coordinating bath mats and Cairo bath rugs.”
