The Grifo towel reflects the Umbrian textile heritage of Tessitura Pardi, a historic Italian manufacturer specializing in fine household fabrics.
Made from pure linen and woven on traditional looms, it is distinguished by its decorative construction. A wide colored band runs across the natural ecru linen base, revealing refined traditional motifs created directly through the weave.
The design is not printed onto the surface. It is formed by the interlacing of the threads and is an integral part of the fabric. Subtle variations in texture give the decoration depth and character.
Its style recalls antique towels once carefully preserved as part of a family’s household linen: practical pieces intended for everyday use, yet made with exceptional attention to fabric, decoration and finishing.
Grifo brings this tradition into the contemporary home. Its timeless design works beautifully in an elegant classic bathroom but can also add warmth and character to a modern interior.
The towel is completed with a machine-made hemstitch, a traditional finishing detail that emphasizes the craftsmanship and refinement of the design.
The Grifo towel is available in two standard sizes:
- Small: 62 × 45 cm / approximately 24 × 18 inches
- Large: 124 × 70 cm / approximately 49 × 28 inches
Each towel is sold individually, allowing you to choose the preferred quantity, size and color.
Available woven-band colors include:
- Blue
- Natural
- Black
- Ivory
Color availability may vary.
Linen is a naturally durable, breathable and highly absorbent fiber. It absorbs moisture effectively and dries quickly, making it especially pleasant for everyday use.
Its lightly textured surface provides a gentle mechanical massaging and exfoliating action, created by the natural structure of the fabric rather than by added treatments.
Compared with traditional terry towels, linen towels are thinner, lighter and less bulky while remaining highly absorbent. They are easy to store and practical for travel or holiday homes.
With use and washing, linen becomes progressively softer while retaining its durability and authentic natural character.
Small knots, subtle irregularities and variations in thickness are not defects but natural characteristics of linen and traditional weaving.
Because it is made from 100% linen and produced in Umbria by Tessitura Pardi.
Because its decorative motif is woven into the fabric rather than printed onto the surface.
Because the ecru base and traditional colored band give it a warm, timeless elegance.
Because it is finished with a refined machine-made hemstitch.
Because it is lightweight, absorbent, durable and easy to store.
And because it recalls the beautiful linen towels found in traditional family trousseaus, reinterpreted for the contemporary home.
Always follow the care instructions on the product label.
Do not use fabric softener: it may coat and gradually weaken the linen fibers and reduce their natural absorbency.
Linen does not require fabric softener because it naturally becomes softer with use and washing.
Avoid harsh bleaching products and excessively prolonged drying, which may wear or damage the fibers.
