Description

Four of the small one. Face, hands, gym bag, the glovebox of a good car. The easiest way to feel the cloth, four times over.

4 × The Temple, the face towel (30 × 30 cm / 12 × 12 in)

One colourway, one pattern throughout.

Composition

100% low-twist ring-spun cotton, woven as a single cloth with two faces. Pattern carried in the weave, visible on both sides, permanent. Yarn-dyed before weaving, so the colour lives in the fibre. Woven, cut and finished at our family mill in northern Italy.

The colourway

Undergrowth

UndergrowthForest green

A deep green with the light kept in it. The colour is dyed into the yarn before weaving, so it sits inside the cloth and stays there through every wash. One colourway for the first weaving. Coldfire, a blue set against rust, follows in 2027.

From the founder

Built slowly, on purpose.

“VELVET began in 2024 with one word and one idea: that the last thing you touch after the water deserves the same attention as everything before it. We chose a family mill in northern Italy, one cloth with two faces, and a slow build over a fast one. Every detail is a decision.”

The Founder

Sizing

Cut larger than standard.

Every bath size is woven larger than the towel it replaces. The industry decided what a towel should be. We disagreed by centimetres.
