Unfortunately i need to edit my review. Chrisy towels are now very poor quality and customer service is poor. It wasn't until i said i had ordered another style of towel that it was accepted that i hadn't done anything to cause fading in the towel i contacted them about. All sorts of excuses for the fading were offered by customer service. However, the other style that did seem ok are now frayed all along the edge. I certainly won't buy Christy again. Quality has really gone downhill. Not worth the money. ............................................ I love Christy stuff so when my old Christy towels that have lasted years needed to be replaced I order 2 sets - hand towels and bath sheets. While these are lovely they are not as absorbant as my previous towels. They also shed slightly so leave a bit of fluff on my face, which I hate. However, overall the quality is good and having tried towels from other places I would go to Christy every time.
