Most people have no idea what the lines on bath towels actually mean.

The extra tip: practical reference points

A nice little bonus: these lines can also serve as visual cues. To fold the towel perfectly? To easily hang it in the same place every day? It’s much more intuitive with these discreet markers.  A small time saver and clarity in the bathroom, and a touch of elegance to boot.

The secret of dobby weaving

Behind these famous lines often lies a very specific weaving technique: dobby weaving. Used to create small geometric patterns in relief, it not only gives character to the napkin, but more importantly, it reinforces its hold. Dobby borders, often found at the ends, are particularly dense. They prevent fraying and give the napkin a beautiful, neat finish, like an elegant frame around a painting.

When aesthetics rhymes with functionality

It’s often overlooked, but household linens, just like clothing, are carefully thought out down to the smallest detail. Those woven lines you might have barely noticed are actually the result of careful thought. Their role? To make your experience more pleasant, more hygienic, more sustainable… without ever sacrificing style.  Proof that even a simple everyday gesture—drying yourself after a shower—can reveal true expertise.
