It is a little-known fact, but linen fibre is ideal for making bath towels
We have our linen for bath towels woven using the "honeycomb" technique. The resulting high-quality fabric features a textured, cellular structure that enhances both comfort and absorbency.
Using linen bath towels offers numerous advantages. This natural fibre absorbs moisture quickly and withstands frequent washing without deteriorating.
Linen: highly absorbent and durable
This fabric can absorb up to 20% of its weight in water!
In fact, linen fibre is one of the most absorbent fibres available.
To the touch, this means it does not feel damp.
The durability of linen fibre is also a major advantage, as the towels do not lose their colour, shape, or softness over repeated washings.
Towels offering comfort and quick drying
Beyond their absorbency, linen bath towels are known for their softness, as the fibres are softened during the manufacturing process. They actually become more comfortable over time (unlike cotton, which often turns rough after a while). They feel pleasant against the skin, and the fact that they dry you off quickly adds to the comfort. Perfect for use after a shower or a swim, they warm you up rapidly.
As the material is hypoallergenic, it is suitable for people with sensitive or delicate skin and does not cause irritation. Its antibacterial properties also prevent bacterial growth.
Linen towels are less bulky than cotton ones, making them easier to store and transport—whether in a suitcase or a gym bag. Linen bath linens also have a lower fabric weight compared to those made from cotton or other standard materials.
When wet, linen towels weigh less than cotton fabrics. This makes a real difference if you need to pack them in a bag after use!
An eco-friendly fibre
Linen is a natural material grown primarily in France. Linen bath linens also stand out as the most eco-friendly option on the market. The linen fibre is produced locally using eco-responsible methods that are close to organic standards. Furthermore, the entire bath linen range is Oeko-Tex certified, guaranteeing the absence of substances toxic to both humans and the environment.
Embrin products—particularly the linen bath linen range—are carefully made in our workshops in Normandy.
