Ali’s Test Results…
Texture and softness. I love the Bath and Hand Towels. They’re soft to the touch, with a low pile and interesting texture. They aren’t bulky, so they hang in my smaller bathroom without hogging much space. Both are made from 100% Australian cotton, and I can attest that out of the packaging, they immediately felt luxe.
Color. The color of everything is gorgeous. I absolutely love the Terracotta color. It’s rich looking and matches my shower curtain and bath mat perfectly.
Size. The Bath Towels are a great size. I’m 5’4” and at nearly 28 inches x 55 inches, they feel more like a sheet. They hit right below my knee so I have full coverage once getting out of the shower.
Durability. After the first few washes, I haven’t noticed any decrease in softness. There’s no stiffness or scratchiness. I’m very hopeful that these will hold up well over time.
The Hair Wrap. The design and button-loop closure are great. It’s big enough to hold all my hair, which some other wraps aren’t (I have mid-length, thick curly hair for reference). It’s made from the same Australian cotton though, so I found it to be a bit harsh on my curls. I tend to get less frizz from microfiber wraps.
The Robe. This robe is so thick, and since it’s made from the same cotton, it’s super absorbent and great for when you’re freshly out of the shower and doing any skincare, hair-care, or makeup routine. However, I wouldn’t consider this a lounge robe. It can help you dry off, but since it feels more like a towel, I wouldn’t go take a nap in this.

Abby’s Test Results…
Color. I loved the variety of color options. They’re fun and playful, while still feeling mature.
Feel. All three towels are very thick and soft. I especially love the Face Washers — they didn’t feel irritating on my freshly washed face, but were still very absorbent. The Bath Towels were also highly absorbent; I felt like I was able to dry off quickly.
Durability. I washed all three towels three times over the course of a month, and like Ali, I haven’t noticed any notable pilling, shrinkage, or decline in softness. Your lint trap will be full after the first wash, though.
Size. I’m 5’3” and the towel fully wrapped around and hit me at knee-length.
Sidenotes…
Dry time. Due to their extra-soft, thick nature, Abby felt like it took longer than usual for her towels to air dry. This wasn’t too much of a problem in the end since there’s more time between uses for the bath and face towels, but Abby wished the hand towels would dry a bit faster.
