The Abyss & Habidecor Story

  

What makes Abyss bath towels so special?

They say, “Creating the 'Best' towel began with the selection of the cotton we would use to make the Abyss towel. Like a fine meal; great results are born from carefully selected fresh ingredients. With that idea in mind, we chose to use 2-ply Giza 70 Egyptian Cotton. Giza 70 is named for the year 1970; during this time when the cotton was harvested, it was declared a superior crop because of the staple length. Fact: Abyss & Habidecor towels are the only towel in the world made of this extraordinary cotton. This special cotton is grown in Egypt: at the mouth of the Nile River, a region known throughout the world as the perfect environment to cultivate cotton. Giza 70 cotton is classified as ELS, Extra Long Staple. A staple is defined as fiber that can be spun to create a yarn. ELS cotton has an exceptional staple length of 1 3/8” to 1 1/2”. Spinners only need to put a soft twist on ELS cotton to create a yarn, and the result is a cotton yarn that is extremely absorbent, strong, very soft and relatively lint-free.

How are they made?

Building a Giza 70 towel begins like this: "We set the loom up using the cotton in all three weaving directions of the terry, no shortcuts here. Once the terry is woven; we cut the towels out by size with our unique radius corner; they are then prepared to receive our signature trim. In the careful hands or our expert seamstresses, each towel receives an elegant finish of continuous bias tape, a label (sewn inward so it will not stick out) and a neatly concealed seam on the side. The seam is never on the corners – it would create a point of stress on the towels. By using this method, the towels are pre-shrunk and will maintain their size and shape for the life of the product. Then off to the dye baths – Our solid color towels are piece dyed – for a number of reasons. We only use dyes which are human and environmentally friendly. All water used for dying is sent to an onsite state of the art recycling tanks, where it is treated and reused. The towel, bias tape, and label are all one beautiful color. Our facility is Oeko-Tex certified – ensuring our products are safe for all.” ...written by Abyss & Habidecor™.

How to launder Abyss & Habidecor Towels & Rugs?


We recommend cold water wash. Tumble dry at low temperatures. Do not wash towels and rugs together. Always wash towels separately from other home textiles and garments (zippers, hooks, snaps, and velcro can pull terry loops.) Use maximum water and ½ the recommended detergent. Do not use detergents with “Brighteners” or “Bleach Alternatives” – these can remove color. Do not use fabric softeners. They clog cotton fibers and prevent them from wicking moisture. They can also remove color from the rugs and towels. Never use bleach, even on white rugs and towels. Certain cleaning and hygiene products contain ingredients which cause bleaching or staining, some of these include: blemish creams, products containing alpha hydroxy and fruit acid, hair coloring products, some bathroom cleansers, and teeth whiteners. Never vacuum rugs. Do not Dry Clean. Do not iron.
