What makes Abyss towels different from other Egyptian cotton towels?

Many towels marketed as Egyptian cotton contain only a small percentage of actual long-staple Egyptian cotton, or use cotton grown in Egypt that isn't necessarily extra-long staple. The label is largely unregulated. Abyss & Habidecor operates differently.What Sets Abyss ApartFiber qualityAbyss uses 100% certified extra-long staple (ELS) Egyptian cotton — specifically Giza cotton, among the longest and finest fibers grown. Longer fibers mean smoother yarn, less pilling, greater strength, and a softer hand that improves with washing.Construction & GSMTheir signature Super Pile towels are woven at around 700–900 GSM with a dense, cut-pile loop construction. The pile height and density create that signature "sinking in" feel that's hard to replicate at lower GSMs.Yarn spinningAbyss uses a combed and carded process that removes short fibers and impurities before spinning, resulting in a cleaner, more uniform yarn with better absorbency and a more refined surface.Color programAbyss offers one of the widest color ranges in the luxury towel category — over 60 shades — using colorfast dyes that hold up well over time.

How many colors do Abyss towels come in?

Luxurious Bath Towels Crafted from Egyptian Giza Cotton

Abyss towels are made from Egyptian Giza extra-long-staple cotton, renowned for its softness, strength, and durability. This exceptional cotton, specifically Giza 70, features exceptionally long fibers, which contribute to the extra softness and absorbent qualities that make Abyss towels a favorite among luxury brands. Unlike other brands, Abyss weaves this extra-long-staple cotton in all three directions—weft, warp, and pile—using a double twist technique. This unique weaving method results in luxury bath towels that are stronger, longer-lasting, and incredibly low in lint.

Exceptional Craftsmanship and Durability

Abyss bath linens go beyond softness and absorption. Abyss invests more weight into the pile of the bath towel, making it dry better than other towels of the same weight. The bath linens feature a signature bias trim with continuous, curved corners, designed for enhanced durability. These details ensure that an Abyss towel will withstand frequent washing while retaining its shape, even after countless cycles of tumble drying.

A Stunning Range of Designer Colors and Styles

Abyss towels are piece-dyed after sewing, ensuring that the towel, label, and trim are perfectly color-matched. These towels retain their vibrant hues over time, a testament to the dyeing expertise of Portuguese master craftsmen.

For those seeking even more luxury, Abyss also offers the highly coveted super pile towel and reversible bath rugs, both designed to provide the ultimate bath experience. Their collection includes versatile items such as the bath sheet, hand towel, and reversible bath rug, allowing you to mix and match for the perfect set of luxurious bath linens.
