The four hand towels in this 4-pack, which are largely cotton, are attractive. The set came in lavender/gray and white for us. These towels were neatly completed, and after the initial wash, we saw no flaws. The description implies that these towels are 100 percent cotton, but that is not the case. The towel's tag and front are both visible in the picture, which indicates that it is made of 95 percent cotton and 5 percent polyester. Because they aren't particularly absorbent, it seems to me that they contain more polyester than that. After using them, unless you want some stylish guest towels for sporadic use, I would not repurchase or suggest these.
