Scalloped Towels
Choosing a Scalloped Edge Towel
A scalloped towel is one of the easier ways to bring gentle decorative detail into a bathroom, through a piece that already earns its place. White feels fresh and enduring, taupe carries a soft warmth, while powder blue, asparagus and mustard bring a more expressive note. The piped edge gives each shade its own definition, catching the light against the pile.
Coordinate your towels with your bathroom decor for a composed, considered feel, or gather closely related tones across hand towels, bath towels and bath sheets for a layered set. Our coordinating Amelia bath mats carry the scalloped detail underfoot. For a wider choice of finishes across the room, explore our complete collection of bath towels, hand towels and cotton bath mats. Beautiful enough for the guest bathroom and durable enough for every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you still have some questions please do feel free to get in touch with us.
What sizes do scalloped towels come in?
Our scallop towels are available in a range of sizes, including face towels, guest towels, hand towels, bath towels and bath sheets, as well as coordinating bath mats. Most of our bath towels measure 70 x 140cm, while the more generous bath sheets measure 100 x 150cm. Individual product pages carry the full measurements for every size.
Do Amelia scalloped towels come as a set?
Yes. Our Amelia scalloped towels are available in four coordinated bundles for those who prefer to bring a set together in one go. The Classic bundle covers the essentials with two hand towels and two bath towels or sheets, while the Signature bundle extends the set with four face towels alongside the hand and bath pieces. For larger households, our Family and Large Family bundles carry a more comprehensive set. The Large Family bundle also includes a coordinating bath mat. Each is available across the Amelia colour range, and individual bundle pages carry the full list of pieces included.
What does 550gsm mean for a scalloped towel?
GSM refers to grams per square metre and indicates the weight of the towelling. Our Amelia towels are 550gsm, balancing a plush feel with absorbency and a practical drying time. This mid-to-generous weight gives the towel substance while keeping it comfortable to handle each day.
How do I keep the scalloped edge looking its best over time?
The scalloped edge is tailored to hold its shape through regular use and washing, but a little care helps it stay crisp. We recommend smoothing the edge when folding, avoiding hot irons directly on the piping, and shaking the towel gently before hanging to let the scallop fall naturally.
How should I wash scallop edge towels with coloured piping?
We recommend washing your scalloped towels at up to 40°C with a detergent free from optical brightening agents, which can affect coloured trims. Avoid bleach and chlorine-based products. Tumble dry on a low setting, or air dry and finish in the tumble dryer for around ten minutes to lift the pile.
Can Amelia towels be mixed with plain towels in the same bathroom?
Yes. The scalloped edge is designed to sit comfortably alongside plainer pieces rather than replace them entirely. Many of our customers pair our Amelia bath towels or bath sheets with plain hand towels and face towels in a matching tone, or use the scalloped pieces as the accent layer in an otherwise pared-back bathroom.
Are your scalloped towels OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified?
Our Amelia scalloped towels carry OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, meaning the textile has been tested for a wide range of substances that may be harmful to health. This certification applies to the collection’s long-staple cotton and tailored scallop finish.
