A large, weighty antique linen towel in a soft, luminous ivory, woven with a subtle damask pattern that only reveals itself when the light hits just right. And a beautifully raised script “M” monogram, done in thick, sculptural embroidery marks the center on either end. Hanging tabs are also fitted on each end.

a full 3’4” long, generous, enveloping, closer to a proper bath or presentation towel than a standard hand towel.
