]]> In a world where time and handcraft have come to be equated with luxury, you don’t get much more indulgent than Mungo’s range of bed- and bathware. With their new Belgian Waffle towels arriving just in time for the change in season, we had a look behind the scenes at their creative manufacturing process. 

Douglas Adams fans will fondly recall the heroic role of the towel in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: “A towel … is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.” And, in the case of Mungo’s new Belgian Waffle towel, also one of the most massively attractive things an interstellar hitchhiker can have.

Made of pure cotton, individually sampled and woven on antique Hattersley looms in a working weaving museum, Mungo’s new soft, super absorbent Belgian Waffle towel will keep you skin-to-skin with luxury long after a steamy bath or dip in the pool. Its light weave allows air to flow through the surface so it dries fast and will fit in that tight little corner of your bulging holiday bag.

Moreover, the Mungo Waffle is not just any old mass-produced towel, with Mungo’s founder Stuart Holding himself involved in the production of these crafted wonders. Browse through the gallery above as Stuart takes us behind the scenes.
