BRAND STORY

【HIPPOPOTAMUS | ヒポポタマス】BRAND STORY | ブランドストーリー

The non-negotiable quality of our towels, born of self-examination, is gentle on the earth and your body.

The special coloring isn't the only thing we are proud of regarding our Hippopotamus products. Water absorbency, softness, exquisite colors, texture, fast-drying - we never compromise to pursue quality in all aspects. Our products are perfected through a process of carefully selecting materials, and making sure we put in the required time and effort. By interweaving organic cotton and environment-friendly recycled bamboo fibers, we have achieved a complex striking colors and textures that leave your skin with a refreshing and gentle feeling.
We also incorporate a washing process that lasts more than 5 hours to make sure that our towels are safe for babies and resistant to discoloration. For the washing process, we use the soft underground water from the highest mountain in western Japan, Mt. Ishizuchi, which gives the towels a soft texture. The wastewater is treated via the biological wastewater process before being released into the environment. Our towels are friendly to human and environment while maintaining our bold and beautiful colors.
