In my last post I talked about finding the right towel. In the process of researching towels to carry at Good 
Fibers, we researched and reviewed many different towels along with their manufactures. It is important for us to find the right products, products we believed in, that I would buy for and could feel good recommending to my friends and family. Being a small family run business, we believe that it is important for our customers to trust that we believe in and stand behind our products. Offering the best products along with providing great customer service is very important to us. We are proud to feature the Nandina Future Fibers line as one of our towels.
When looking at these towels through the lens of choosing the right towel this is what we found. These towels scored very high.
Fibers – The Nandina towels are made from fiber spun from combination of 75% bamboo and 25% organic cotton. The fibers met or exceeded the highest standard for organic textiles by Switerland’s Oeko-Tex.
Texture – Nandina offers four textures from Aragon, an ultra soft, smooth terry. Savari, a wonderful basket weave, and two jacquard patterns, Akhara and Sasa. All of the towels are incredibly soft. I never want to put them down.
Colors - Nandina offers a unique line of colors, for each style of towel, which are fresh and rich. The dyes are all created using either low impact or organic dyes.
Weight – The Nandina towels run 600 GSM. This weight is not considered heavy for a luxury towel, but the make up of the fibers feel luxurious. The tub mats are a heavier GSM.
Price – Nandina Towels run from $12 to $89 and they are available in wash cloths, hand towels, bath towels, bath sheets and tub mats.
The Nandina towels are manufactures on the island of Imbari, Japan. The bamboo is plantation grown and the pulp is broken down into fiber and woven with organic cotton in a plant powered by wind. The towels are then dyed using low impact and organic dyes with the water then run through a stringent four step process to purify it for the least amount of environmental impact. One of the company’s slogans is “Savng the planet, one incredibly soft towel at a time.”
