Kaya Organic Face Towel
A face towel made from 100% organic cotton mosquito netting.
Due to the coarse weave of mosquito netting, with large gaps between threads, it absorbs moisture well, dries quickly, and is resistant to unpleasant odors. With each wash, it becomes softer and fluffier.
Mosquito netting is excellent in absorbency, quick-drying properties, and breathability. It quickly absorbs moisture, dries fast, is resistant to unpleasant odors, and is hygienic.
By eliminating the sewn-in tag, it is gentler on the skin.
【Kaya (Mosquito Netting)】
---Kaya (蚊帳) is the name of a coarsely woven fabric. The kanji for "mosquito" (蚊) is included because it was originally used as an insect repellent cloth.
BAN INOUE's focus is on colorful mosquito netting made from 100% cotton.
【Characteristics of Kaya Fabric】
---Originally, mosquito netting was hung to keep mosquitoes away while sleeping.
It is a coarsely woven, airy fabric.
It is woven using a method that creates large gaps between threads for air circulation, making it very light and flexible.
However, as a woven fabric, it has no stretch.
【The Charm of Kaya Fabric】
---When the "sizing" used during weaving washes off, the fibers of each individual thread expand, bringing out the natural softness of cotton.
Furthermore, as the fine fibers intertwine, the material becomes even more skin-friendly, soft, and airy.
It can be used with peace of mind by those with sensitive skin and children.
