Details
DEKO is a Japanese Imabari towel by Kontex, woven in Ehime, Japan from 100% Pima cotton, in a 32 × 35 cm / 12.6 × 13.8 in hand size and a 40 × 95 cm / 15.7 × 37.4 in face and body size. Five colours.

Imabari craftsmanship
Low-speed looms
Woven in Imabari on traditional low-speed looms, from more than 150 yarn blends Kontex develops in house. Weaving slowly keeps tension off the yarn, so the fibres hold their natural loft.
Soft water finish
Finished with the pure soft water of Imabari's local river systems, the water the region's gentle dyeing and washing is known for. It is what gives the towels their absorbency.
Founded in 1934 in Imabari, Ehime (Japan's most celebrated towel-making region), Kontex has spent nearly a century perfecting the craft of the towel. Each piece is woven on traditional low-speed looms using over 150 custom-developed yarn blends, then washed with pure soft water drawn from local river systems. The result is a towel of exceptional absorbency, rapid drying, and enduring quality, crafted with care for both the user and the environment.
