Costco Towels - Charisma

What do you think of that marinated salmon? How do you prepare it? I'm thinking of buying some. Thanks.

The black Charisma towels that I bought from Costco are a nightmare. They shed large pieces of lint in the wash and large swatches of dusty black all over the bathroom. This was a huge disappointment.

My wife picked up these towels last week. I just washed them and they ruined a load of laundry with lint. Half the towel was on the lint screen. I guess the chinese didnt bother to try to launder these towels before trying to sell them. They are going back to Crapsco.

Wow, a lot of bad reviews on Charisma...
Thank you for letting us know

Has anyone had any problems with them spotting? I do not use bleach in my laundry, but it looks like they all have bleach spots.

Have you people never bought new towels before. Even extremely expensive towels tend to leave a lot of lint behind until they have been washed a half dozen times. It goes with the territory. The more you wash them the less lint they produce and the more absorbent they become.

I bought some of these towels recently. They are a total disappointment. Not only does half the towel end up in the lint filter, but they shed all over the bathroom and your body. Large threads hang off and they also pill! The dark brown ones are the worst I have ever seen. I bought J. C. Penney towels at the same time and have not had any where near the problems that I have with the Costco towels. They are a terrible product

I had a different problem with the Charisma towels form Costco.
I bought the whole set in the berry like color, washed them once before use, all bath towels frayed at the edges and large amounts of strings came out.
I returned the whole set, looked for similar ones elsewhere because I really liked the way they felt.
I Couldn't find anything good in the price range of my Costco towels so I bought the same entire set again in the berry and in the grey too. I washed them and they seem ok so far, I will be watching them for fraying and if it happens again I will return them.
I wanted to give it one more try because they are really nice and they sell at Bloomingdale's for $25 for a bath towel and on sale they go for $19.

I agree with the reviewers that you can't beat a good quality towel that sometimes comes at a price. A good towel usually does not lint excessively even after the first wash. It also needs to be soft, doesn't fray and well absorbant with continuous use. 

 I believe I have purchased Grandeur towels from Target some years ago. At the time I thought it was good but found that over time it sort of lost that "softness" feel to it. I'm not sure if this is due to frequent use or washing. As a single person, I only own 1 towel for showering so it gets used and washed quite frequent. 

There was an article a year ago that was written about the low quality towels sold at Costco. I tend to stay away from these types of items at costco because of the lack of selections. I want to be able to touch multiple towels and feel the difference from each brand. Sometimes the same brand may have a different feel to their own towels so i don't particulary favor this inconsistencies from a brand. That just makes me feel so insecure. I like to invest a little more in towels because it's something that we use daily and at multiple times throughout the day. So, it needs to meet certain standards. 

Right now I'm using towels from Sears. It's pricey at $25/pt for extra long but so far it has met all of my standards.
