Thank you for viewing! This is a brand new, made-in-Japan, ultra-luxurious UCHINO face towel. The retail price is 27,500 yen. It uses "St. Vincent," an ultra-premium cotton from Sea Island Cotton, also known as a phantom variety. Slit yarn with pure gold vapor deposition is used for the patterned part, making it very beautiful and luxurious. Sea Island Cotton has a soft touch like cashmere and a luster like silk, and is highly valued like a jewel due to its outstanding quality and rarity. It is called the jewel of fiber nurtured by the Caribbean Sea. It is supremely soft, moist, and very voluminous. It has a blissful touch that makes you want to bury yourself in it. It is slightly wider than a regular face towel. Sea Island Cotton has been strictly managed from cultivation to shipping for a long time since it was presented to the British Royal Family when Queen Elizabeth I of the late 16th century held the West Indies. Its quality was protected, and it was truly a cotton exclusively for the British Royal Family and nobility. It cannot be grown in any climate or environment in the world and is a very rare material produced only in the Caribbean Sea. Moreover, due to its very delicate nature, mass production is difficult, and the annual production volume is only about 1/100,000 of the total cotton. It is carefully cultivated over a long period of time, and each piece is hand-picked to maximize its natural texture and excellent characteristics. Even now, mechanical processes are avoided as much as possible, and it is carefully and meticulously spun. The cotton produced in this way has overwhelmingly long and fine fibers compared to other cottons, making it supple and strong, and also fluffy due to the natural twist, exhibiting outstanding absorbency. This phantom cotton has been officially imported to Japan since 1975. It is the highest quality among Sea Island Cotton(^^) Size: Approximately 40cm x 80cm Color: White x Pure Gold Surface/Back: Pile (Sea Island Cotton) Although it is new and unused, it has been stored at home.
