Customer Reviews of Vossen Terry Cotton Bath Towel

Overview
Reviews
Q & A
Similar Items

Overstock. As soft and fleecy as cashmere, Vossen's bath towel from the Florence Collection caresses the skin with gentleness and twice as much volume as conventional toweling. Luxuriously thick, 506g/m² cotton is extra absorbent yet wonderfully lightweight. These towels are carried only in the finest stores of Europe, and are currently available in the U.S. through Sierra Trading Post. Founded in the German city of Gutersloh in 1925, Vossen is one of the best known terry towels in Europe. (Some say it's the softest, most absorbent towel in the world.)

Dimensions: 26-½x54"
Fabric: 100% cotton
Care: Machine wash/dry

disappointing :(

By pw4gdf from New York, NY on 05/20/2010

Pros:
Generous Size, Soft
Cons:
Deteriorates Quickly, Seam open fraying
Best Uses:
Shower
Describe Yourself:
Midrange Shopper
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Initially, I thought that these towels were superior to others I had purchased. Within a few weeks of use, I called STP to complain that one of the towels was fraying along the edge. As time as gone on, many have begun to do that as well. I am even more frustrated because I purchased a set as a shower gift and I am concerned that the recipient is facing the same problems as well. I would not recommend these towels.

Soft and Attractive

By Libby from Alexandria, VA on 10/16/2009

Pros:
Attractive Design, Durable, Soft
Cons:
Not Absorbent
Describe Yourself:
High-end Shopper
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Lovely towel, even if the color indicated on the package was the one I ordered, but the towel was not. I ordered white and the package said white, but the towel was definitely cream-colored (I'd ordered another towel earlier and it was white, so I know that this one should have been also). Despite the nice texture of the towel and the fact that it doesn't pill, it is strangely cold to the touch and not as absorbent as it should be.

Durable

Good All Purpose Towel
Describe Yourself:

It's NOT mid-gray as described. I asked my spouse if it didn't look gray-green. The response was green is all I see. Large color disappointment, but no other criticism.
