Amazon Brand – Pinzon 6 Piece Blended Egyptian Cotton Bath Towel Set - Plum

This review is for the Wedgewood blue towel set. The towel color matches the photos but they are very thin and extremely inferior in texture, and feel. They might be OK for use by Motel 6, but not by any quality hotels.Though they are 100% cotton, their label states they are only 30% Egyptian Cotton. They have a rough texture. Their GSM weight is not stated on the label but the webpage description for the Gray towel states they are 725 GSM. 725 GSM would be very acceptable for a thick luxury-hotel towel. But these blue towels are so light and thin that they must be less than 450 or even 400 GSM.

I bought these Pinzon towels several years ago and needed some new ones. These are nowhere near the quality of the prior version. They are lighter, thinner, and even the label is a cheap plastic label rather than a fabric label. Very disappointed that the quality has been compromised. I don't understand when you have a great product, does every new product manager have to justify their existence by making it cheaper? I mean, yes, you make more money, but isn't the whole point of having a great product is that it remains great? Who are these people who make these decisions to cheapen products. Constant cheapening means we go elsewhere to find someone who makes decent products. Shame.

***Updated review.I purchased these towels in spite of the mixed reviews and pictures of damaged towels... One reason being the low $21.99 price point for the set of 6 towels, another being the slightly larger bath towels at 30"x 56" (standard is 27x54).Also, I read reviews stating that the plum is slightly lighter than pictured and this is what I was hoping for. I figured they were worth a risk as I noticed the reviewers who noted the plum color didn't seem to have as many negative reviews.They arrived quickly and my husband and I both agreed that they appear to be thick and beautiful. That said, I can't yet comment on quality, in terms of longevity, but will be updating this review after a few months of use and numerous washes.I am very particular about how I launder clothing and the likes, so my findings will only really apply for others who do the same... I don't wash towels with jeans or other articles with zippers or anything that could snag them (or that the towels would wear down).I use Perwoll detergent for darks which preserves and renews dark colors beautifully (sold here on Amazon, pricey but a little goes a long way and its worth it) and I don't use detergents with regular fillers which buildup on clothes.  Reliable PERWOLL-BLACK BLACK FAB. DET. 1.5L Lastly, I use wool dryer balls and do not use fabric softener (which especially shouldn't be used with towels since it leaves a coating on them, making them less absorbent).  Smart Sheep 6-Pack XL Premium 100% Wool Dryer Balls (Reusable, #1 All-Natural Fabric Softener ~ Best Ranked, Great Gift) I uploaded some pictures so you can see the plum. I laid out a couple of purple cardigans next to them that are more of a true purple or plum, for comparison. These are a slightly smokey plum (more plum than gray, just a touch more muted shade). Very plush, especially for under $22, and much prettier than expected!Definitely recommend, at the very least, for towels on display getting little use. No snags or poor quality apprearance upon arrival - from Pinzon seller via Amazon, in Plum.Happy shopping! Smile.*UPDATE* After first wash, no more dryer lint than with any other new towel set I've purchased. No fuzzies sticking to wet skin or shedding. Color and overall look is as good as new... More to come if anything changes...After a month of use, a number of washes and dryings, we are super happy with this set! We will be ordering another set while we can (noticed the seperates in plum are no longer available and the HUGE bath mat in plum is now also gone- very plush!). I do recommend it though, (still available in other colors) see my review with photos here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1ESKH88D6JLD7/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000T2T8RKHope this helps!

The color is a true depiction, but I donated this entire set to the animal shelter upon arrival. The label said 100 % Cotton and nothing else. No more details. I honestly feel that this is a dollar store quality product and could not possibly sustain one cycle in a washer or dryer. Strangely, I also ordered the aqua at the same time which was by the same brand but more expensive, and there was no contest between the two. The gray I have to strongly recommend against. It’s simply cheap and poorly made. The aqua was absolutely satisfactory and what I was expecting.

I just got this towel set no more than two weeks ago. I swear my hands were clean and all I did was wash it thoroughly with soap before I wiped my hands on the towel, but it continues to change the color permanently to this ugly orange. I washed the towels a couple of times, but it is permanently damaged. It seems to me that the dye is super poor quality. It should not change color when just wiping hands from having washed them with soap. Even if it gets a little bit of soap leftover on it, quality dye would not turn color instantly. Yes, the color turns instantly as you wipe your hands. I am very disappointed since I do personally love the original color tone a lot... just wish it was more quality.

Las toallas son de material de calidad, son gruesas y secan bien.. son del tamaño que especifica la publicacion, de no ser por ello cambiaria mi calificacion ya que soy gordo y necesitaba esa medida.. volveria a comprarlas, por el precio y lo q incluye esta muy bien hasta para hacer un regalo, compre las de color rojo y se ven increibles, me encanto el color tal cual como se ve en las fotos de la publicacion, espero te ayude mi reseña

El precio y la calidad son excelentes pero no engañen a la gente. En la etiqueta dice 70% algodón y 30% algodón egipcio. Osea que no son 100% algodón egipcio como indican.El paquete llegó con 6 toallas de excelente calidad color musgo, esponjositas y muy suaves al tacto, nada rasposas. El detalle de encaje de listón al centro las hace ver elegantes.Ya estoy pensando en comprar varios juegos mas de otros colores ya que nos han gustado bastante.

Nos gustaron mucho las toallas. Vienen 6 toallas en total, dos son grandes para secarse al salir del baño, 2 de manos y 2 de cara. Pensé que iban a ser más delgadas pero sí son gruesas y secan bien. Tienen unas ligeras imperfecciones en que en algunas costuras no están bien acabadas pero nada de cuidado. Considerando el precio y la calidad están muy, muy bien. El algodón es en parte egipcio y el color como aparece en la foto.

These towels are so heavy and HUGE!!! They are not soft or absorbent but they do the trick for beach towels only which is pretty much what I purchased them for. They shed like crazy after washing so be prepared to spend time picking out small threads from your washing machine. I would recommend for beach towels but not for everyday bathroom use. A solid *** stars.UPDATE!..after only a few washings color has faded and long threads are starting to come out on the towels. Very disappointed. Reducing to one star only. I do not recommend these towels even for the beach!

These towels are THICC. Seriously , they are thick and heavy , almost too heavy for a small child to wield .That thickness brings with it excellent absorbency.As for softness they are soft , not the softest , but feel nice to the touch none the less.Overall I do not regret purchasing or using these towels.
