I got this towel to keep in my purse during hot summer days to pat off sweat, or to clean up some minor spills of tea or water while out of my home. It's soft and comfortable to use, not scratchy on the skin at all! Of course you could keep this strictly as a "fancy towel" for aesthetic purposes around your home if you choose to do so! :) Either way, it will brighten your day to see it when it happens to pass by your gaze!
