Towels

Towels in Pakistan

We make and sell 100% pure cotton towels in face, hand, bath and bath sheet sizes, plus kitchen, beach and baby towels. We also export white toweling by the container to the United States, United Kingdom, Dubai, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Canada, so the cloth sold here is the same cloth that passes export inspection. Cash on delivery nationwide, delivery in two to six days, and a 7 day replacement window.

What size do I need?

Size is where most buyers get caught out, because plenty of things sold as bath towels are closer to hand towel size. These are the measurements in standard use:

• Face towel or washcloth about 13 by 13 inches
• Hand towel about 16 by 27 to 16 by 30 inches
• Bath towel about 27 by 54 to 30 by 56 inches
• Bath sheet about 35 by 70 inches
• Bath mat about 22 by 34 inches

The difference that matters most is bath towel against bath sheet. A bath towel dries you. A bath sheet wraps right around you, which is what you want if you need to answer the door or take a call before you are dressed. Check the inches on the product page rather than trusting the word on the label. If you are unsure, message us on WhatsApp at 0324 492 4274 before you order.

What does GSM mean, and is a higher number better?

GSM is grams per square metre, the weight of the cloth. It is the one number that tells you how a towel will behave, and towelling generally runs between 300 and 900. Below 400 is thin and dries very fast. Four hundred to 600 is the everyday range for a family bathroom, soft and absorbent without being heavy. Five hundred and fifty to 800 is what gets called heavyweight. Above 700 is hotel and spa territory, thick and holding a lot of water. Now the part nobody in this market will tell you. Higher is not automatically better in Pakistan. A 700 GSM towel in Karachi humidity, or anywhere during monsoon, takes a long time to dry between uses. A towel that stays damp starts to smell within a week, and washing does not fix it while the weather holds. This is why lighter and flatter weaves are recommended for warm climates worldwide. For most homes here, 450 to 600 is the sensible range. Keep anything heavier for winter, or for a bathroom with a window and real airflow.

Why is my new towel not soaking up water?

The most common complaint after buying, and the towel is usually fine. Mills apply a finish to towelling so it looks smooth and full in the packet. That finish repels water. It washes out, but not on the first go. Wash a new towel two or three times before you judge it and it will absorb properly from then on. Two habits matter more than most people realise. Never use fabric softener on towelling, because it coats the loops and cuts absorbency permanently. A soft towel that does not dry you is almost always a softener problem. And do not fill the machine to the top, since loops need room to move or they flatten.

Which towel for which job?

• Face towels are used daily and washed most often, so buy more than you think you need.
• Hand towels hang by the basin and get used by everyone in the house. Mid weight cotton lasts better here than something plush.
• Bath towels are the everyday workhorse. This is where 450 to 600 GSM earns its place.
• Bath sheets wrap fully. Worth having one or two even if the rest of your set is bath towels.
• Beach and pool towels want size over thickness, since they need to dry in the sun quickly.
• Gym towels should be light. A thick towel sits damp in a closed bag all day and comes out smelling.
• Kitchen towels want a flatter weave rather than deep loops, so they wipe rather than smear.
• Baby towels are made in softer cloth for newborn skin. If you are setting up a nursery, see our baby nests and baby cot sets.

Cotton, and what about microfibre?

Ours are 100% cotton. Cotton absorbs more water, feels better against skin, and lasts longer through repeated washing. Microfibre dries faster and packs smaller, which is why it suits a gym bag or travel. It does not absorb as much and it does not feel the same. If quick drying is your priority above everything else, microfibre is worth considering, and we do not sell it. Within cotton, two things affect feel. Combed and ring spun cotton uses longer fibres, which means less shedding and fewer loose threads in the wash. Zero twist construction makes a towel noticeably softer without adding weight. Waffle weaves are flatter and lighter, which makes them the fastest drying cotton option and a sensible choice for a humid bathroom.

What comes in a set, and how many do I need?

A set usually means one bath towel, one hand towel and one face towel. It does not usually mean several bath towels, which is what most people assume. Check the listing before ordering, because contents differ. For a household of four, a practical starting point is two bath towels per person so one is drying while the other is in use, four hand towels, and six face towels. Add two spare sets kept aside for guests, which saves scrambling when relatives arrive.

Towel prices in Pakistan

Prices here run from around Rs 500 for a light hand towel up to around Rs 2,500 for a good three piece set. Bath towels commonly sit between Rs 800 and Rs 1,900. What moves the price is GSM, the cotton itself, the size, and how many pieces come in the pack. One word of caution when comparing. Several sellers in this market show every product at exactly half price, permanently. When a discount never ends, the higher figure is not a real price. Compare what you actually pay rather than the percentage on the label.

Washing and care

Wash warm rather than hot. Skip the softener. Wash new dark colours separately for the first two or three washes. Do not overfill the machine. Drying matters more here than in cooler countries. A towel needs air moving over it, not just shade. During monsoon, or in a humid coastal bathroom, hang towels where a fan reaches them and never fold one away while it is still damp. That single habit is the difference between towels lasting years and towels smelling by the second month.

Buying in bulk for guest houses, gyms and salons

We supply plain white toweling in quantity, and it is what we export. Three things change at volume. Plain white is easier to bleach and easier to replace piece by piece, so you are not matching shades a year later. A mid weight around 450 to 500 GSM survives repeated hot washing better than a heavy towel and dries faster between guests. And running one size across the whole property makes laundry far simpler. For container quantities and export enquiries, call 0320 4569380. For smaller bulk orders inside Pakistan, message us on WhatsApp with the quantity and size and we will quote you.

Matching the rest of your home

If you are refreshing a bathroom or setting up a new home, buy alongside rather than piece by piece. See our bed sheets, our blankets and throws, and our waterproof mattress protectors. For a child's room, our kids bed sheets pair with the kids towels.

Delivery, payment and exchange

We deliver nationwide, usually within two to six days depending on your city. Cash on delivery is available. You have 7 days to request a replacement under our return and exchange policy if there is a fault or a colour shade problem. You can track your order once it ships. Our office is at Office No 40, Street No 6, Bhogiwal Road, Lahore. We are an online store, so orders come through the site, by phone or on WhatsApp. Contact us to check a size or weight before ordering.

Common questions

What is a good GSM for a bath towel in Pakistan?

Between 450 and 600. Below that feels thin. Above that takes too long to dry in our humidity and starts to smell.

What size is a bath towel?

Around 27 by 54 inches. A bath sheet is larger at around 35 by 70 and wraps fully around you.

Why does my new towel not absorb water?

Mills apply a finish that repels water and washes out. Wash it two or three times before judging it.

Should I use fabric softener on towels?

No. Softener coats the loops and permanently reduces how much water the towel takes up.

What comes in a towel set?

Usually one bath towel, one hand towel and one face towel. Check the listing, since contents differ between products.

Which towel is best for the gym?

A light one. Thick towels stay damp in a closed bag. Around 400 GSM or a waffle weave dries fastest.

Do you supply towels in bulk?

Yes. We supply plain white toweling in quantity and export it by the container. Call 0320 4569380 for export enquiries.
