Towels go through constant washing, drying, and friction
The dobby border acts like a reinforced edge — stopping the towel from fraying or coming apart
Without it, your towel would start to shred after just a few uses
✅ Think of it as the towel’s seatbelt — holding everything together.
2. Makes Hanging & Drying Easier
The flat strip is perfect for hanging on hooks, bars, or towel rings
It doesn’t stretch or sag like the fluffy part
Helps the towel dry faster and stay in place
🛁 No more towels slipping off the hook mid-shower!
3. Adds Durability & Structure
The tighter weave strengthens the weakest part of the towel — the edges
Reduces wear and tear over time
Helps the towel last longer, wash after wash
✅ A small detail that makes a big difference in longevity.
4. Helps You Identify the Top
Many towels have the dobby border only on one end
It subtly marks the top of the towel — helpful when folding or matching sets
🧺 Great for neat linen closets!
