Looking to replace your towels? We were this winter when we realized that the reason ours were looking so shabby was that they were over ten years old. We decided we could justify replacing them (we recycled our old ones as gym towels), but I couldn’t quite fathom spending what most good quality towels cost (mostly because I would have rather spent that dough on sassy new heels). The problem? The quality of most “budget” towels stink. But I found the exception to that rule at the holy land of designer labels at reasonable prices (that would be Target, of course). The Thomas O’Brien Vintage Modern towels are fantastic — plush, with a velvety softness that has stayed put even through a whole lot of washes.
I bought all white — simple, classic, perfect with every bathroom and best of all, bleach ’em and they look new.

So funny, I just did the same thing with our wedding towels, but I replaced with Rest. Hardware, and it hurt my bank account severely! Should have waited for this post!
Someone in the Moses family thought the best color for towels was black! Obviously he was wrong. Can’t wait to throw all mine away and start anew. Have you any thoughts on towel fabric that is part bamboo? That was the rage a while back and we have a few but they seem to take forever to dray.
Awesome. I also found some great towel sets at TJ Maxx earlier in the year when I had to replace my mom’s laundry that J. threw away…. I forget the brand but they came in sets (2 x 1 bath, 1 hand, 1 washcloth) for only $19.99. Surprisingly plush. We need more though, I will check these out!
