Review on Thanksgiving Foliage Tapestry Placemat with Tache Designs by Brian West

I love the look of these towels but like other reviewers have said how they smell. I've tried washing it 2 times and it still smells moldy like wet towels that have been out for too long. Perhaps that's the best way to describe it. I wanted to keep them to myself but had to throw them away because I couldn't stand the smell. spend $$$. But if they didn't smell, they would be well made and very pretty. The reason I gave two stars. Others didn't seem to have this problem. I think I'm"lucky".
