A different kind of towel that’s luxuriously soft, really absorbent, and dries like its job depends on it

Thanks to the unique waffle weave of the Onsen hand towel, it’s seriously lightweight—you can even see through the airy weave if you hold it up to the light—but it absorbs water better than even the plushest terry bath towels out there. The super strong supima cotton gives the towel a resilience that means it’ll do its job just as well on day one as it will the last day of its life. And thanks to it’s open weave, it dries out quickly after you use it, so you’ll never reach for a wet, musty towel after a shower ever again.

Our process

We partnered with a leading manufacturer who specializes in supima textiles, and put the finished product through a rigorous quality assurance process to make sure every towel we ship out lives up to the Onsen name. It all starts with supima sourced from family farms in the United States, which we ship to our partner so they can begin the process.

Strength testing of fibers to guarantee a long-lasting towel
Supima yarns woven into our signature lightweight waffle weave
Edges bound and finished by a human being on a sewing machine to ensure quality
Garment washed for softness and a relaxed, open weave without the use of harmful chemicals
Quality checked for consistent stitching, loose threads, and size consistency
Washing/drying tests that check for shrinkage, strength, and colorfastness
