4.0 out of 5 stars Very soft and absorbent!, January 17, 2006

This review is from: Bianca USA Metropolitan Bath Towel, White (Kitchen)

I have only used these towels once, but they are very soft and surprisingly absorbent. When I first received these towels, I washed 8 bath towels and hand towels together. There was quite a bit of shedding in the dryer as they completely filled the lint filter and needed a second dry cycle to completely dry. Having done that, I did not notice any shedding while using the towel and I have to say it was quite a bit softer than the towels I was replacing (Royal Velvet).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, February 3, 2006

This review is from: Bianca USA Metropolitan Bath Towel, Cream (Kitchen)

I bought this towel for $8 and it came with a gift with purchase (free hand towel).

At other discount retailers like Linens n Things this would easily be a $15 towel. It's very heavy and absorbent, but still luxuriously soft.

It's not a plush style of towel, so it's not the softest towel I've ever felt. But that's because it has shorter loops that are kind of doubled over onto each other, and I think it's a much higher quality than some some of the softer, less durable towels I've had.

It is generously sized, but not as large a bath sheet. The cream color is an attractive color closer to warm vanilla than ivory.

With the waffle-weave inset, it's definitely an urban/mod decor kind of towel. It could probably fit a neutral decor, but not anything too floral or feminine. It would go well in a man's bathroom.

Finally, I think of it as more of a spa towel than the one that Bianca sells as their "spa towel."

I've been looking for a great buy on great towels for almost a year, and I finally found it! I am so satisfied that though there is a minor imperfection in one towel I don't plan to send it back. (The imperfection was a partially missing vertical row of the loops, which is noticeable but doesn't affect performance.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous, Lush Towel, March 15, 2006

By 

Hoosiermom (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bianca USA Metropolitan Bath Towel, White (Kitchen)

I researched towels on this site for 2 hours. I bought two types: this one and a martex. The martex is nice, soft, and absorbent, but this Bianca towel is absolutely the thickest, softest towel I've ever used. I could care less about towels, but now that I have these, I think I will be pretty picky. These towels have a heft to them that is uncommon among towels. They are very absorbent as well. [...]
