Armani InternationalFoglio Kitchen Dish Towels Set 2-Pieces, 100% Two-ply Twisted Flax Linen Cotton, Made in Europe

I was going through my Amazon order history and saw this item. I can't believe I've used these towels for 4 years, and they have NO holes, NO frayed ares, very little fading. I have used these every day for 4 years, washed them at least 100 times, and they still are beautiful. Great quality fabric, and the patterns are still lovely. I burned one a bit on the stove once, but I still use it. A great purchase.

At first glance these towels reminded me of old, worn out floor rugs. How very wrong I was! These are the most beautiful and absorbent dish towels I've ever purchased. I would purchase some more if only they were more affordable. Only thing I guess you get what you pay for. I will probably not purchase any other kinds of dish towels. These are most definitely quality 100% cotton linen towels, just what I was looking for.

I ordered a variety of cotton/linen towens to see if they are as wonderful as they used to be and they are! These towels cut your drying time in half. They are so good that I ordered another set to include in a wedding gift. Armani International is the only company I could find who has this 50/50 blend. They are worth their weight in gold. They will last for years and years.

I remember my mom having these kinds of dish towels when I was younger, and this type does an excellent job of absorbing water, looking pretty, and hiding stains. Their longevity was also far better than terrycloth or microfiber.I thought it was a little crazy to order Armani dish towels, and since I am reporting this anonymously, I will confess I haven't yet cut off the Armani tags. But I have been using them, and the colors are beautiful and they soak up water in a most excellent way.Since they get such heavy use every day and are on display for all to see, I think it's worth the somewhat ridiculous price for them. Rather than lasting a year or two before being thrown away, if they perform like my mother's towels, they'll be around for years, making their overall price reasonable in the long run. And the colors are beautiful, bright and sophisticated and not gaudy at all.

Purchased these as a gift for my sister in 2011. 2016 and these towels are still going strong. They're softer and more beautiful than ever and have retained all of their drying capacity. She moved a few years back and she and her boyfriend had to sit down and decide who was going to get the towels! Worth the pricetag for the incredible quality. I'll be buying a set for myself soon enough.
