PRODUCTS

How do I take care of my Tofino Towel Co. products? 

• Take care of your items and they will take care of you. Each item has a content care label with the washing instructions. These instructions are provided by our artisans who carefully hand weave our products. Each product is different, so be sure to check out the label.
• As a general rule of thumb, we recommend you wash all of our cotton products on a delicate cycle using cold water and hang to dry. 
• We do offer items that have a wool content, for these items please follow the care instructions on the label.
• These steps will ensure maximum enjoyment and longevity of our products. 

What are your products made out of? 

• We detail the product composition for each style on the product page of our website.  There you will be able to find if the product is organic, Okeo-tex, fair trade and other certifications. You will see that majority of our products are made from Turkish cotton – want to know why?  Read the next FAQ ☺ 

Why Turkish Cotton? 

• In general, the fibers of Turkish cotton are longer and stronger than those of most other types of cotton. The fibers of Turkish cotton are quite smooth with very little 'fuzz'. Because the fibers are long it allows the fiber to be quite absorbent. Some other benefits of Turkish cotton are that it is generally half the weight while being equally as absorbent, it dries quickly, it’s easy to pack, and generally has a longer life.

Are your towels suitable for indoor and outdoor use? 

• Yes! We design our products and work closely with our artisans for each style to be functional and fashionable. Our products are meant to compliment your lifestyle, whether that be indoors or outside. #liveoutsideloveinside
