    Frequently Asked Questions

    What material is the Riviera Hand Towel made from, and where is it woven?

    The Riviera Hand Towel is 100% cotton, woven in Brazil using the finest Brazilian cotton on the market. At 645 GSM, it uses a dual-warp construction with a special 2-ply pile yarn that delivers high absorbency without the weight of a heavier towel.

    What does 645 GSM mean, and how does it affect the towel's performance?

    GSM stands for grams per square meter and indicates fabric density. At 645 GSM, the Riviera Hand Towel is dense enough for thorough moisture absorption, yet light enough to dry quickly and transport easily to the pool or gym.

    How should I wash the Riviera Hand Towel to preserve the garment-dyed color?

    Wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent, separating light and dark colors, and avoid overloading the machine to protect the long cotton fibers. Do not use chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, or benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed colors, as the reactive dyes are not resistant to whitening agents. Bleach is safe on the White colorway only. Learn more about MATTEO's garment-dyeing process.

    What size is the Riviera Hand Towel?

    The Riviera Hand Towel measures 39 x 19 inches (99 x 48 cm). It also has a convenient hanging loop on the short edge so it can be displayed or stored neatly on a towel bar or hook.

    Does the Riviera Hand Towel come in other sizes?

    Yes. The Riviera collection is available in five sizes: Sheet Towel (35 x 69 in), Bath Towel (30 x 63 in), Hand Towel (39 x 19 in), Wash Towel (12 x 13 in), and Bath Mat (18 x 31 in). Shop the full Riviera collection or browse all MATTEO bath products.

    What colors is the Riviera Hand Towel available in?

    The Riviera Hand Towel is available in 15 garment-dyed colorways: White, Moon, Off White, Greige, Salt, Iris, Mica, Oat, Bay, Alpine, Coal, Fig, Bark, Night, and Smoke. Because garment-dyeing is an artisan process, a shade variation of +/- 10% between dye lots is normal and part of what gives each towel its distinctive character.

    What inspired the design of the Riviera towel collection?

    The Riviera collection was inspired by the towels used in the finest resorts on the Italian Riviera. MATTEO designed and manufactures the collection in Los Angeles, bringing together Brazilian cotton construction and non-toxic garment dyeing to create a towel that reads as hotel-quality in both weight and finish.
