Review of Luxury Micro Cotton Bath Towel

These are very soft and absorbant towels.My husband prefers a rougher towel and wasn't happy with the feel of these at first, but now he likes them.So far these towels seem to get softer and even puffier with each washing.Theyfeel like luxury.Guests love them.

Product Description:
MicroCotton (TM) is a trademarked brand for a unique cotton yarn developed by Homesource International's mill in India. The yarn is made from a very high grade of cotton and is 100% natural cotton. This yarn is the result of research and development carried out by their mill and a US marketing team over more than two years in the quest to make a truly superior, high performance cotton terry towel. The natural characteristics of this very special type of 100% cotton yarn we call MicroCotton (TM) stems from the extremely high quality of the very fine micronaire (the measure of fiber fineness for cotton) cotton fiber we use. MicroCotton (TM) is made from exceptionally long staple cotton. The fiber is naturally silky soft and is used to make the finest natural cotton yarns that can be made. You will find that this towel is both light and bulky, as well as exceptionally soft. But the most important characteristic of MicroCotton is its ability to absorb water almost instantaneously. The MicroCotton (TM) towel also dries quickly after use. The MicroCotton (TM) towel has an extraordinary 120 fiber loops, while other towels typically have between 30 and 40 fiber loops.

Review of Peacock Alley Sutton Towels

Considering their price, you would expect these towels to be incredibly soft and luxurious--I know I did.To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.Now don't get me wrong, these are very nice towels.But there are a lot of very nice towels on the market for less than half this price.

Out of curiosity, I weighed a new Peacock Alley Sutton Towel against a Canning Vale towel I bought ten years ago at Macy's.Even though mine was probably washed over a hundred times, it still weighs more than the new one.In case you suspect my old towels weigh more because they might be larger, they're not.They're actually a bit smaller than the new ones!The only thing bigger about my old towels is the luxuriously thick thread loops, even ten years later!What a shame these are no longer sold in the United States.Ugh.

I gave up my search for luxury towels and went to Costco.Their inexpensive Grandeur towels weigh about 20% more than the outrageously priced Peacock Alley Sutton, and I won't even mention how inexpensive they were.The Grandeur towels aren't quite as pretty looking as the Sutton, but from their appearance and feel, I'll bet they last twice as long.I'll save the Sutton for guests, but will never admit how expensive they were.

Don't be a sucker like me.You deserve more for your money.Avoid Peacock Alley Sutton towels.


P.S.There's one last thing I almost forgot to mention.Peacock Alley claims these towels are 660 gram weight.Yea, right...Pffft!


Update Feb. 23, 2010:Changed rating from two stars to one.
The towels are starting to fall apart.Even though only used and washed a few times at most.Less than two months use for $34 luxury towels.I've bought junk towels at Wal-Mart which lasted longer than this!Today I requested a refund, and will update my comments accordingly.
