The Urban Stripe Tenugui Hand Towel brings a refined, modern touch to your home with its simple yet striking stripe pattern. Available in five colors: black, gray, green, navy, and teal blue, this versatile design pairs easily with both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Each towel is crafted using the traditional Chusen dyeing method, a process where skilled artisans hand-dye the fabric so both sides are richly colored. This technique produces subtle variations in hue and pattern placement, adding depth and character to every piece. Made from soft yet durable Chita cotton, the towel is highly absorbent, quick-drying, and lightweight, making it as functional as it is stylish.
Perfect for daily use, the Urban Stripe Tenugui can serve as a kitchen towel, table runner, or bento box wrapper. With its minimalist design and artisanal quality, it offers a practical accent that elevates everyday living.
Please Note: Pre-washing traditional Japanese hand towels (tenugui) is essential to prevent color bleeding and soften the fabric. To care for your tenugui, hand-wash it in cold water without detergent, rinsing it multiple times if necessary. After washing, air-dry the tenugui in the shade to preserve its vibrant colors. It is also recommended to store the tenugui away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Following these steps will help maintain its beauty and durability over time.

Tenugui
Tenugui is a traditional Japanese hand towel made from soft, lightweight cotton. With a history of over a thousand years, it began as a ritual cloth and became an everyday essential by the Edo period. Used for drying hands, wrapping items, or covering the head, its unfinished edges allow quick drying and easy care. Today, tenugui come in countless colors and designs, loved for their versatility as both practical tools and decorative pieces. Hand-dyed using the chusen technique, each one reflects Japanfs refined craftsmanship and simple beauty that remain timeless.
