How did I stumble across the best Target bath towel? Well, confession time: I could spend literal hours looking through Target. It’s so great for finding household essentials, and towels are no exception. Whether you’re in need of one for college or just want to switch yours up, I’ve found the best one on there — and it’s an absolute bargain.
Target's Threshold performance bath towel is filled with features that make it amazing to use, easy to clean, and long-lasting. Over 7,000 Target shoppers have given it five stars, and there are so many reasons why they love it.
I’m personally obsessed with the fact this bathroom towel comes in 23 colors. 23! That’s the most I’ve literally ever seen for just one towel. It covers pretty much every shade you could possibly need too, from neutral grays and pinks right up to bold reds and blues. This means that you can mix and match colors depending on what kinda vibe you wanna go for. I could go on and on about how brilliant this towel is, but if you want to get your hands on it ASAP, these are all the deets you need to know.

Reasons to love the Threshold Performance Bath Towel
First of all, this Target towel is fade-resistant, which means that it won’t quickly lose its color when put in the wash or after usage. This can be the case with bath towels of this price range, so that’s def a relief to know.
In terms of care, the performance towel can be machine-washed and tumble-dried, so you don’t need to worry about handling it delicately. It’s also low-lint, so it won’t leave you with fibers here, there, and everywhere after you’ve rinsed off.
As well as coming in a whole load of colors, each towel has a decorative two-stripe pattern that gives it that hotel luxe kinda vibe. Match that with the heavyweight GSM, and you’ve got yourself a towel that you could pretend that you’ve smuggled back from your last vacay.
We also seriously stan anything with eco and sustainability credentials here at Real Homes, and this towel has the Made in Green by Oeko-Tex label. FYI, this certifies that it has been made in an environmentally friendly facility with socially responsible working conditions.
