by ChristyChristy Towels is part of a proud heritage which stretches back 150 years - and is today one of the UK's leading brand of bath towels. Christy UK are considered the experts by many when it comes to towels. Christy was established in 1850, when Henry Christy visited the Palace of the Sultan in Constantinople. He bought back with him a sample of a handmade, loop pile fabric which was new to the western world. His brother, Richard Christy analyzed how to mechanically reproduce the loop pile, and patented a machine to produce terry towels on a large scale. The first Christy towels were shown in the Great Exhibition of 1851 at Crystal Palace, where a set was presented to Queen Victoria. She liked them so much she immediately ordered more. The Royal Turkish Towels had arrived. Since then the Christy name has been synonymous with quality. Christy uses only the very finest natural fibers to create their beautiful towels. Traditionally cotton is used to make towels; however other natural fibers are now also being used. Christy's international reputation for creating beautiful towels ensures that they are regularly featured in consumer magazines within bathroom makeovers, gift idea lists and fashion spreads.
