What does 800 gsm mean?

Gsm is grams per square meter, a measure of towel density. At 800 gsm these are among the heavier towels sold, so they feel thick and hold more water than a 500–600 gsm towel.

Will they take long to dry?

Yes. The dense pile holds moisture, so they dry more slowly than lightweight towels. Hang them on the sewn-in loop with space to air, and avoid packing them damp into a closet.

What is OEKO-TEX MADE IN GREEN?

It is a certification for textiles made in environmentally friendly facilities with safe, socially responsible working conditions. Atelier states this collection is verified under it.

Are they good for a guest bathroom?

They suit guest baths if guests have a place to hang them between uses. The weight and softness read as a premium touch, but the slow drying is the trade-off.

How should I wash them?

Wash in a full load without crowding so the pile can rinse clean, and skip fabric softener, which coats the loops and reduces absorbency. Tumble dry low.
