Origin in Portugal
All AUNVE towels begin in the fields of Portugal, a region known for its textile heritage and generations of craftsmanship. The cotton we source is grown and spun locally, with attention to environmental care and fiber quality.
Working closely with family-run mills allows us to ensure a shorter supply chain and tighter quality control. Each step — from harvest to spin — is carefully managed by people who understand the material beyond the surface.
It’s cotton with character — rooted in origin and shaped by the hands that know it best.
Combed cotton is where softness truly begins. Each strand is carefully refined, removing shorter fibers and leaving only the strongest, smoothest threads. The process creates a foundation that feels clean to the touch and endures through years of use.
It’s an invisible detail, but one that defines the quality of every towel we make.
This quiet refinement reduces friction, shedding, and uneven wear. What remains is a surface that feels calm in the hand — smoother, more consistent, and built with balance. It is softness not as an effect, but as a property of the fiber itself.
The difference is felt in the stillness of every fold and the quiet weight of the material.
Because the fibers are aligned and strengthened, combed cotton retains its character wash after wash. Where ordinary cotton can lose shape and texture, combed cotton stays close to its first touch — soft, resilient, and steady over time.
It is softness that doesn’t fade, but settles into lasting calm.
The result of using long-staple, combed cotton is immediate. The surface is smooth yet structured, the weight feels balanced, and the towel responds to daily use with quiet consistency. It’s not just about softness — it’s about softness that stays.
Each towel is made to become part of your ritual, not just your shelf.
We avoid artificial finishes or coatings. What you feel is the honest result of natural fiber, carefully processed and woven. Even after repeated washes, the towel holds its form, texture, and clarity. No pilling. No fading. No compromise.
This is a material that respects time — and improves with it.
For us, performance means calm. These towels don’t just dry — they warm, they wrap, they slow things down. Whether it’s morning light or an evening wind-down, they’re made to support stillness in a fast world.
That’s the feeling of 100% cotton, treated with nothing but intention.
