Soft Melange Cotton Towel - Murakami Pile

Unexpected color. Remarkable depth.

A towel designed to stand out at first glance. Melange is defined by its richly layered color—nuanced tones created by weaving four different yarn tones into one fabric. The result is a painterly blend with remarkable depth, where shades softly shift and mingle like brushstrokes on canvas. Bold yet understated, it brings warmth and character to the bath, bedroom, or everyday routine. For SANTOKU NYC, we chose five signature color palettes.
Beyond its striking appearance, Melange was designed to evoke the soft, cushioned comfort of a plush rug underfoot. Long pile loops and specially spun cotton yarn give it a full, springy handfeel that feels soft, cushioned, and comforting against the skin.After bathing, the soft, absorbent texture feels warm and comforting to use.
Whether draped in a guest bath, folded on open shelving, or given as a thoughtful gift, Melange brings color and character to the home.
Crafted in Imabari, Japan’s renowned towel-making region.

• Painterly melange color created from four blended yarn tones
