What makes LANA towels different from regular towels?

LANA towels are handmade in Imabari, Japan using traditional techniques passed down for over 120 years. They are made from 100% certified organic cotton with a unique waffle weave pattern that provides exceptional absorbency (passes the famous Imabari 5-second test), quick-drying technology, and becomes softer with each wash, unlike regular towels.

Are LANA towels machine washable?

Yes, LANA towels are machine washable. We recommend washing cold or warm (up to 40°C/104°F) with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they reduce absorbency. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry naturally.

What sizes are available for LANA towels?

LANA towels are available in four sizes: S (36 x 36 cm, ¥880) - Kitchen cloth size, M (36 x 85 cm, ¥1,650) - Face/hand towel, L (55 x 110 cm, ¥3,300) - Bath towel, and XL (85 x 145 cm, ¥5,500) - Large bath towel. All sizes are available in Grey, Navy, and Brown colors.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship LANA towels internationally to USA, Canada, UK, Australia, EU countries, and worldwide. Shipping time is typically 7-14 business days. We offer free international shipping on orders over $50 USD.

What materials are LANA towels made from?

LANA towels are made from 100% certified organic cotton, sourced from sustainable farms. They are manufactured in Imabari, Japan using traditional techniques that have been perfected over 120 years. The towels feature a unique waffle weave pattern for maximum absorbency.

How do I care for my LANA towel?

Machine wash cold or warm (up to 40°C/104°F) with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they reduce absorbency. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry naturally. Do not bleach. Iron on low if needed. Note: LANA towels get softer with each wash, unlike regular towels.

Are LANA towels suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, LANA towels are made from 100% organic cotton without harsh chemicals or dyes. They are hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin. The organic cotton fibers are naturally soft and gentle.

What is the Imabari 5-second test?

The Imabari 5-second test is a quality standard for Imabari towels. When water is dropped on the towel, it should be completely absorbed within 5 seconds. LANA towels pass this test, demonstrating exceptional absorbency.
