Miss Towels
Miss Towels in short
Miss Towels is a Dutch bath linen brand offering towels, bath sheets, and bathrobes in heavyweight cotton qualities. Fabric weight (GSM) determines absorbency and drying time: around 500 GSM offers a substantial, plush feel. Wash towels without fabric conditioner, as it impairs absorbency.

What to look for in bath linen
- Fabric weight (GSM) — higher density provides greater absorbency, but takes longer to dry.
- Cotton type — long-staple cotton produces less lint.
- Size — guest towel, hand towel, or bath sheet.
- Colour — dark colours can bleed during the first few washes.
Caring for your towels
Towels primarily lose their absorbency due to fabric conditioner.
- Wash without fabric conditioner; it leaves a coating on the fibres.
- Wash new towels separately first; they may shed fluff and bleed colour.
- Wash at 60°C for hygiene and dry thoroughly.
- Hang towels fully spread out to dry to avoid musty odours.
Buying in the Netherlands
Miss Towels is available in the Netherlands via homeware stores and online. Pay attention to the GSM rating if you prefer substantial, plush towels or quicker-drying alternatives.
