The inspiration for Shale is the concept of time captured in the layers of the sedimentary rocks seen all along Australia’s coastline. Realised as a luxuriously thick, irregular striped terry towel, its simple sophistication and superlative function illustrate the concept of everyday luxury.
Responsibly woven in Portugal from 100% OEKO-TEX® certified cotton by our Sedex Ethical and BCI-certified weaving partner, supporting sustainable and ethical production.
Available as Hand Towel, Bath Towel, Bath Sheet, Bath Mat & Bath Robes in 2 colour ways: River and Carbon.
Care instructions:
Machine wash at a maximum 40°C.
Choose an eco-friendly washing detergent and avoid optical brighteners, whiteners, and softeners to preserve the colour and absorption of the towel.
Wash light and dark colours separately
Line dry in the shade. For optimal softness, finish off in the dryer at a low temperature. A gentle tumble dry can also help if you’re experiencing any initial shedding.
It is natural for looped terry towelling to get the odd pull or loose thread. If a loop gets caught and snags, we recommend snipping the thread close to the base of the towel with some sharp scissors.
