House of Nunu's Yellow Check brings warm, contrasting checks into the bathroom. Woven from 100% cotton at 550GSM and certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, these are properly weighty towels: thick, thirsty and soft, the kind that feel like a good hotel rather than a spare-room afterthought. Available as a bath towel or a hand towel.
Which One Do I Need?

- Designed in Australia. Woven in China.
- Cold machine wash. Tumble dry low.
Pūrē Standard
- OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 is the specific one you want. Not a general eco badge: it means every component, thread and dye included, has been tested for harmful substances. On something you wrap around a wet body daily, that is the claim that matters.
- Certified, weighed and measured. 550GSM is a published density, the certification is independent testing of every component including the dyes, and both sizes are stated. You can tell how this will feel and how it will wear before it ever reaches the rail.
- 100% cotton, no synthetic blend. Pure cotton sheds no plastic microfibres in the wash, unlike the cotton-polyester blends most towels are made from.
- 550GSM is a real number, not a marketing one. It is a dense, hard-wearing weight, and a heavier towel survives more washes. The longer it lasts the less often it needs replacing.
- Designed in Australia, woven in China. House of Nunu confirmed both the certification and the country directly. A maker who answers that quickly is usually a maker with nothing to tidy up first.
- Washes cold. A cold cycle is all it needs, which keeps the energy use down across years of laundry.
- Biodegradable fibre. Natural cotton breaks down at end of life rather than persisting as microplastic.
- Where we would like more. A published weave type and some detail on the packaging would be the last pieces.

Our Take
550GSM of pure cotton, a properly heavy towel rather than a decorative one, with no poly blend shedding into the wash. We asked about certification and origin and they answered the same day: OEKO-TEX, woven in China.
