Fabric

Our Riviera towel collection has the ideal balance of softness and absorbency. We weave Riviera in Brazil using the finest Brazilian cotton on the market. Towels have two warps; one for the ground and one for the pile, or loop. We use a special 2-ply yarn in the pile which makes these towels both highly absorbent and highly durable. Weighing 645 grams per square meter, this towel is absorbent yet still light enough for easy transport.

Care Details

Wash

Wash should be separated into light & dark colors. Do not overload machine as this will damage long cotton fibers. We recommend a lukewarm wash cycle with a gentle detergent & a cool rinse.

Bleach may be used on white towels only. Avoid using products that contain whitening agents such as chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed items. The reactive dyes used for garment-dyeing are not resistant to these whitening agents.

The largest challenge with garment-dyeing is the truth that it is an art, and not a science. We must allow for a shade variation of +/- 10% from dye-lot to dye-lot.

Drying

Tumble dry with low heat. Remove towels promptly from the machine to reduce wrinkling. For best results, line dry.

Ironing

Riviera towels can be pressed while slightly damp using the Lightweight Cotton or Medium setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material is the Riviera Bath Towel made from?

The Riviera Bath Towel is 100% cotton, woven in Brazil using a two-warp terry construction: one warp for the ground and one for the pile. A special 2-ply yarn in the pile gives the towel its absorbency and durability. Each towel is garment-washed and dyed with non-toxic dyes.

How heavy is the Riviera Bath Towel, and what does 645 GSM mean?

The Riviera Bath Towel weighs 645 grams per square meter (GSM). That weight puts it in the range used by high-end resort and hotel towels: dense enough for strong absorbency, but still light enough to carry poolside or pack for travel. Higher GSM generally means a thicker, more absorbent towel.

What sizes does the Riviera Bath Towel come in?

The Riviera collection includes five sizes. The Bath towel is 30 x 63 inches (76 x 160 cm), the Sheet towel is 35 x 69 inches (89 x 175 cm), the Hand towel is 39 x 19 inches (99 x 48 cm), the Wash cloth is 12 x 13 inches (30 x 33 cm), and the Mat is 18 x 31 inches (46 x 79 cm). All sizes include a hanging loop on the short edge.

How should I wash and care for the Riviera Bath Towel?

Wash light and dark colors separately on a lukewarm cycle with a gentle detergent and a cool rinse. Do not overload the machine, as that can damage the long cotton fibers. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling; line drying gives the best results. Avoid chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed colors, as these whitening agents break down the reactive dyes.

Are the Riviera Bath Towels dyed with safe, non-toxic dyes?

Yes. Every Riviera towel is garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic reactive dyes. Because garment-dyeing is applied after weaving rather than to the raw fiber, slight shade variation of plus or minus 10% between dye lots is normal and expected. MATTEO uses this process across its textile collections; you can learn more about garment-dyeing here.

What is a MATTEOX clearance product, and does it affect quality?

MATTEOX products are samples sold at final availability pricing, currently at 50% off the original $125.00 retail price. They may have visible flaws such as off-color shades, minor thread irregularities, or faded edges, and colors in the same dye-lot grouping can vary slightly in tone. All MATTEOX items purchased at 50% to 70% off are eligible for a full refund or store credit; returns are subject to a $10 restocking fee.

Where are Riviera Bath Towels made?

Riviera towels are woven in Brazil using Brazilian cotton, chosen for its long fiber length and natural absorbency. The towels are designed and finished by MATTEO in Los Angeles. The two-warp terry construction and 2-ply pile yarn are specifications developed specifically for the Riviera collection.

Is the Riviera Bath Towel good for sensitive skin?

The Riviera Bath Towel is 100% cotton with no synthetic fiber blend, and it is dyed using non-toxic reactive dyes free from chlorine bleach agents. The garment-washing process softens the terry pile before the towel reaches you. Those with skin sensitivities should follow the care instructions to avoid whitening agents, which can degrade the dye and affect fabric integrity.
