If you’re shopping for towels, especially ones you expect to wash frequently (like gym, guest, or everyday bath towels), consider choosing ones with dobby borders. Not only do they look clean and minimal, but they’ll also likely last longer, hold their shape, and fold more neatly on your shelves.
And if you’re trying to fold towels like they do in hotels? Use the strip as a center or edge guide for clean, even folds every time.
Final Thought
Sometimes, the most overlooked design features in everyday items turn out to be the most intentional. The humble strip on a hotel towel may seem like a simple design flourish — but it’s actually the result of smart, functional thinking that balances aesthetics, efficiency, and durability.
So next time you dry off with a towel at a hotel or fold one at home, take a moment to appreciate that little strip — it’s doing more than you think!
