I use to think that all towels were equal, in other words I would always choose the cheaper one regardless of quality.

Ahh, but there are some lessons you learn early and quickly in life. If I had a nickel for all the times I toweled off with a dark cheap towel only to leave my freshly bathed body with hundreds of tiny flecks of lint!

Prism Towels by Christy from Bloomingdale’s are great bath towels. They are extremely absorbent and stylish to boot. They have a hemmed edge with signature dobby, they are simple and elegant and can adorn any bathroom. Constructed from 100% zero-twist cotton.

Originally $20.00 On Sale for $14.99
