These are two 70 x 140 cm bath towels and two towels 50 X 70 cm with a beautiful bright red. I began by soaking in water around 60 ° one of the towels, the water is colored rather quickly, no wonder. So I washed this product with other red items and using a mild detergent. I naturally dried towels and they remained very sweet. They are thick but it is not a tight velvet quality I put 4 stars not for discoloration which was predictable but because one of the towels had a fault with a shot weft thread, this towel so keep an imperfection. On the other hand, it is a pity not to be able to provide matching washcloth.
