BRAND CERTIFED

In order to carry this logo mark, the products must meet strict quality standards.

  • HIGH-QUALITY COTTON

    Among all else we made it using extravagant, 100% top ranking Superior Pima Cotton.

  • UNIQUE QUALITY STANDARDS

  • CRAFTMANSHIP

    Imabari towel’s unique bleaching and dyeing method does not damage the cotton during the manufacturing process.

Imabari Towel from Japarcana

Fluffy as a Cloud

Made from astonishing American Pima Cotton (APC), the Omiyage is embedded with this high quality ultra-long cotton. This allows for greater absorption whilst remaining luxuriously soft to the touch, making it suitable for all skin types.

Gifts for Any Occasion

A top-quality towel is an underrated gift and is perfect for anyone who enjoys using it. Towels are practical items and you may hesitate to buy one for yourself at times. Omiyage Towel will never let you down with its extraordinary touch and unique fabric.

Untwisted Yarn Towel

Usually yarn is made by twisting cotton fibers, but the Omiyage towel is made of using untwisted yarn. The yarn in ordinary towels are twisted to give them a durable toughness, but untwisted yarns make the surface fluffy and extremely soft.

In the (single) yarn, a particular fiber dissolves in hot water (water-soluble vinylon) and is twisted in the opposite direction of the yarn making a two ply yarn (yarn made by twisting two pieces together). By using the water-soluble vinylon, it allows you to have the yarn itself untwisted. If you were to weave the towel in this state, when you wash it the water-soluble vinylon dissolves, leaving only the untwisted yarn.

For towels that are made using untwisted yarn, they will shed if the normal fiber length is short. Also, without a towel that has long fibers, the yarn will not go back and recover leaving you unable to make a good towel. This is why we used cotton with long fibers. It is top class Superior Pima Cotton. This cotton has outstanding durability and a soft finish.

Superior Pima Cotton has a cotton fiber of more than 35mm/1.4”, with the fibers being long and narrow, and excelling in durability. Often said to be comparable to cashmere, its softness and gentle texture are its distinctive traits. Due to there being space between the fibers for air to pass through, and rather than being heavy, has a light and fluffy feel.

Purchase of Towel by New Yorker/European

Positives: a) Communication and speed of delivery was excellent; b) Customer service was exceptional - my questions were answered in detail and in timely manner; c) Packing and presentation was lovely; d) towel is very soft, light, extremely absorbent. After two washings, no loose threads, very well constructed. e) Color is muted, lovely. Suggestion/question: why three labels? I removed two of the three labels because too abrasive and distracting visually. From production standpoint, adds to labor/cost but not value for me. I also felt the brand label was oversized, but this may be a cultural difference. In short, excellent item, thank you very much!

Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the Omiyage towel and that you are satisfied with the quality, packaging, and customer service. Your feedback on the labels is invaluable, and we will certainly take it into consideration to improve our products. We are glad that you found the towel to be an excellent item despite the label issue. We hope to serve you again soon!
