Asella Handwoven 100% Cotton Towel & Blanket

Soft, simple, and made to be lived with. The Asella is woven on traditional Ethiopian handlooms from 100% hand spun cotton, which gives it a buttery softness and a texture that deepens with every wash. Our women-owned weaving partners in Ethiopia weave the contrasting color blocks directly into the fabric, so the design is part of the cloth itself rather than printed on top of it. Because every piece is made by hand, each one carries small variations that make it one of a kind.

Lightweight yet substantial, the flat weave dries fast and travels easily. Use it as a towel for the bathroom, beach, pool, or sauna. Drape it over the sofa, layer it at the foot of the bed, or wrap it around your shoulders on a cool evening. It also works as a shawl, a picnic blanket, or a nursing blanket. The signature twisted fringe finishes each end by hand.
