Product Insights
The Organic Cotton Towel from Simons Maison uses 650 GSM density and bouclé texture to absorb fully in one pass while drying faster than a standard 650 GSM towel, but still slower than lighter towels. It softens and improves with washing, though initial shrinkage of 3-5% is expected and lint shedding in the first few washes can be reduced with a vinegar pre-wash. Proper care involves avoiding fabric softener, bleach, and optical brighteners. Made in Portugal, the organic cotton cuts water usage by 70% and is grown without synthetic pesticides, making it hypoallergenic. Starting at CAD $10 for a facecloth, the bath sheet is sold individually.
- Care
Counteracts water retention, drying faster than a 650 GSM terry towel.
Why this is supported
At 650 GSM, the towel sits in the premium weight band (600–700 GSM) typical of thick, plush towels.
| Premium | 600-700 | Thick, plush | Slow | Master bathroom |
realtowel.co.ukHowever, the bouclé weave avoids that slow drying:
delivers the deep absorbency of a luxury terry without the extended drying lag, because the weave structure counteracts water retention.
Bouclé texture long-term performance — 650_gsm_in_boucl_contextThis means the towel dries faster than a comparably thick terry towel.
- Value
Bouclé texture standard on all sizes, starting at CAD $10 for facecloth.
Why this is supported
The bouclé weave is typically found only in upscale collections, but here it serves as the default construction across all sizes and colors:
The bouclé weave — a looped, curled yarn that reads as nubby and dimensional rather than flat — is typically reserved for upscale bathroom collections, but here it serves as the default construction across all sizes and colors

650 GSM density absorbs water fully in one pass.
Why this is supported
At 650 GSM, this towel is in the 600‑700 GSM sweet spot where organic cotton absorbency advantages are most apparent.
Premium bath towels typically sit at 600–700 GSM, where the difference between organic and conventional construction becomes most apparent in long-term performance.
cottsbury.comThe bouclé weave is designed to offset water retention:
delivers the deep absorbency of a luxury terry without the extended drying lag, because the weave structure counteracts water retention.
Bouclé texture long-term performance — 650_gsm_in_boucl_contextThe nubby weave does not compromise absorbency:
Despite the textured weave, it still feels soft and absorbent thanks to the 650 GSM organic cotton.
How does the bouclé texture feel compared to traditional terry towels—is it more like a loop or a nubby woven surface?Users confirm:
They absorb moisture quickly and hold it.
cottonwithlove.comThe 650 GSM weight provides a
high‑end, luxurious feel that guests immediately notice.
softtouchlinens.co.ukThe organic cotton fibers also grow softer and more absorbent with each wash:
Because the cotton fibres in organic towels aren’t broken down by harsh chemicals, they grow longer and stronger — creating a towel that’s naturally plusher and gentler on your skin, and one that often gets even softer with every wash.
cottsbury.comThe 650 GSM density places it near the iconic Abyss Super Pile (700 GSM), confirming its plush absorbency.
Abyss Super Pile weighs in at a hefty 700 gsm for absolute luxury.
flandb.com- Softening
Gets softer with each wash.
Why this is supported
The organic cotton fibers remain intact during processing, so the towel
often gets even softer with every wash
cottsbury.comThis means it becomes more comfortable over time without fabric softener.
- Shrinkage
First wash shrinks 3–5%; cold wash and low-temp drying minimize it.
Why this is supported
The Q&A confirms that
some minor shrinkage (typically 3–5%) may occur in the first wash
Do these towels shrink significantly after the first wash, and are they pre-shrunk?and recommends washing in cold or warm water (max 40°C) and tumble-drying on low heat to minimize this effect.
- Lint
Buyers report lint shedding in first 2–3 washes; a pre-wash with vinegar reduces it.
Why this is supported
The Q&A notes that
Yes, like most new cotton towels, these may shed some lint during the first 2–3 washes
Do the towels shed excess lint in the first few washes, and is there any treatment to reduce linting?and recommends a specific protocol to control it:
wash them twice before first use: first wash with 1 cup of white vinegar (no detergent), second wash with a small amount of mild detergent.
Do the towels shed excess lint in the first few washes, and is there any treatment to reduce linting?- Chemical avoidance
Avoid fabric softener, bleach, and optical brighteners for absorbency and texture.
Why this is supported
The care instructions explicitly state to
avoid bleach, optical brighteners, and fabric softener
What specific care instructions (e.g., water temperature, drying method) are recommended to maintain the bouclé texture and organic cotton integrity?because fabric softener coats organic cotton fibers, reducing absorbency and flattening the bouclé texture.

Love them
Not the fuzziest / most absorbent but they look great and are nice quality
Superior cotton fabric
These towels are impressive. The cotton fiber, the production process and the feel lend to the absorbency and durability of this product. I wold absolutely recommend these towels.
Décevant
Pour le prix, je m'attendais à mieux. Elles laissent plein de petits bouts de tissu sur la peau lorsqu'on s'essuie après la douche.

Good quality but colour not as described
The towels seem like good quality, I’ve only washed them once. The colour is definitely a light grey and not grey taupe as listed.

Organic Towels
I definitely would not recommend these towels, they are not absorbent at all. For the price I was expecting more, a complete waste of money.
Organic cotton towels
Very nice color, soft without being too soft. Good quality, not too expensive. I would prefer if the face cloth had no design/ridge in it, as its a bit rough on the face. But otherwise I like. I bought the same towels in dark brown.
