So - of course he was going to notice that I had been systematically emptying our linen closet of towels and packing them away for a 2nd life in our Montana cabin. Which meant, I needed to replace them sooner rather than later.
Luckily, Macy's is having a 4th of July sale. These were the contenders:
Ralph Lauren Greenwich Collection Towels in Pebble
Hotel Collection Towels in Mercury
Charter Club Towel in Graphite
After much deliberation and a nudge from the sales associate, I ended up taking the plunge and going with the Hotel Collection towels. They're super-soft, get great reviews, and the words "hotel collection" make them seem luxurious (darn clever marketing ploy).
However - dropping all that dough on towels made me question if pricey towels truly are worth the $$$. What do you think? Would the towels below be just as nice as the expensive ones?
Mainstay Essentials in Gray (Walmart)
Definitely worth it. Like bedding, you shouldn't go cheap on towels. You skin will know the difference :)
ReplyDeletewell, i love my charter club towels, even if they are shamefully $2 less than the hotel collection. although, that mercury color is really nice.
ReplyDeletei might have to check out the sale, too, seeing as how i have another bathroom to spiff up.
I had a Ralph Lauren set that was my favorite. Used it for a good 10+ years, and it's still around, but now reserved for my dog.
ReplyDeleteI do have a luxury bath towel from the Hotel Collection and I have to say, as plush and soft as it is, it's not quite as absorbent. But would agree that dropping a little more dough (if you are able to) on a good set of towels can be a good investment.
