Cotton towels from India for homes, hotels and spas

Cotton towels from India are made in some of the world’s largest towel clusters, including Solapur, Karur and Panipat. Alongside classic terry towels, we supply flat-weave hammam towels, waffle towels and handloom cotton towels with woven borders.

When buyers ask us for towels, we usually ask about the end use. Hotels need durability and consistent sizes. Spas want softness and calm colours. Retailers want a feel and look that stands out on the shelf.

Types of towels we offer

Terry towels

Bath sheets, bath towels, hand towels and face towels in 400 to 700 GSM, ring spun or combed cotton, with dobby borders.

Hammam towels

Flat-woven, lightweight cotton towels with fringed ends, popular as beach, bath and spa towels.

Waffle towels

Honeycomb weave cotton that is light, absorbent and quick to dry, matching our waffle tea towels.

Handloom towels

Traditional handwoven cotton towels with simple stripes, a lovely artisanal option.

Made to your specification

GSM, size, colour, border design and labels are all made to order. Many mills in these clusters hold OEKO-TEX and BSCI certifications for retail and hotel programmes.

Hotel towels

For hotels, we recommend 500 to 600 GSM white or light colours, double-stitched hems and logo embroidery. Towels are made to survive commercial laundering.

Coordinating the bathroom

Towels sell best with matching bath mats and bathrobes in the same colour.

Colours

Whites, ivories and solid colours dyed to your card are easy. Very specific shades need a lab dip approval first.

Minimum quantities and packing

Woven towels are made to order with minimums per colour and size. Towels are folded, banded and packed with your labels. Quotes are available ex-factory, FOB, CFR or CIF.

Questions about towels from India

What GSM do you recommend?

500 to 600 GSM suits most retail and hotel use; 700 GSM feels luxurious.

Can you embroider our logo?

Yes, on borders or the towel body.

Do you supply hammam towels for beach stores?

Yes, in stripes, solids and custom colours.

Choosing the right towel for the shelf

Retail customers judge towels by touch. Combed cotton and zero-twist yarns feel softer and fluffier, while ring-spun cotton is strong and long lasting. For lifestyle stores, flat-weave hammam towels and waffle towels stand out because they look different from standard terry.

What affects the price

GSM, yarn quality, size and border design matter most. Heavier towels use more cotton, and fancy jacquard borders add to cost. Packaging such as bands, boxes and labels adds a little more.

Testing a towel range

Start with three sizes, bath, hand and face, in four or five colours, then add hammam or waffle towels as an accent line.
