I love the texture and simplicity of the design. The ends have this kind of jean material that I didn't expect but I actually like. I am only giving 4 stars because I don't know yet on how absorbent these really are. Using after a shower it seemed to not dry my skin off very well so I am eerie about that. Therefore I will wait to see over the next few weeks and get back to you if it is worse or me just not being use to new towels lol.
