Reusable personal hand towels, made of a patent-pending fabric that’s 100% certified organic Fair Trade cotton. The light-weight fabric is absorbent, yet dries quickly, making it possible to carry and use in public places instead of paper towels. One of the co-founders discovered the concept of using a personal hand towel on her first visit to Japan where everyone – men, women, children – young and old carry a hand towel because they do not have paper towels in public places in Japan, and hand dryers are only occasionally found in large cities. PeopleTowels are printed with eco-friendly dyes, and come in a variety of designs to appeal to different tastes and styles. Convenient hangtags even allow you to clip or loop your PeopleTowels to your backpack, belt buckle or purse.
