Review on LinenMe Provence Standard Prewashed Produced by Molly Gunther

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful, high quality and affordable

I love these 100% linen towels. The natural color with black stripes is striking, but in combination with the linen structure, this towel looks very simple. These towels look great in both the bathroom and the kitchen. Although much thinner than cotton towels, linen towels dry much faster. They're more expensive than cotton, but I went with them because linen is more mold resistant than cotton. Sometimes, cotton towels can smell moldy if they aren't dried often enough. Living in a humid climate exacerbates this problem. They can feel a little "rough and stiff" before washing, but linen softens very quickly. Another reviewer mentioned that they need to be hand washed. Not me. I just throw them in the washing machine with other things. I usually line/air dry them just because I like the way linen feels when line drying, but I threw them in the dryer on low and didn't notice any shrinkage. You should not use fabric softener when washing. Yes, the linen might look a little wrinkled, but it stays surprisingly wrinkle-free without ironing. Quality underwear lasts almost forever and I would put them in that category. For 100% linen towels, that's a good deal. I almost bought them from another website not owned by Revain for $40 each. I'm glad I saw this LinenMe 2 pack here on Revain. Prime made it even better.
