Dream Designs

Dream Designs is one of my favorite shops on The Drive for home decor stuff. I am especially in love with their 60% bamboo towels which are soooooooo soft and fluffy, and are the richest, most gorgeous colours.  Bamboo is apparently a great fabric for towels because it is more absorbant than cotton, dries faster and has natural anti-bacterial qualities.

According to this article on Treehugger.com, the eco-credentials of bamboo are up for debate — converting the bamboo stalks into cellulose fiber so it can be woven into yarn apparently requires harsh chemicals.  In any case, these towels are mixed with 40% regular cotton and made in Portugal anyway, so in my personal opinion, I don’t think they could be considered all that eco-friendly anyway. But, environmental concerns aside, I can confirm that they look and feel great!

Prices are in-line with other high end towels – $10 for the facecloth, $40 for the bath towel or bath mat, $70 for the bath sheet. A bit of a splurge, but worth it (though an occasional sale would be nice!).
