I am a third generation born and raised Palm Beacher. Growing up in Lake Worth and Palm Beach, Florida; I am accustomed to very fine things. And at the top of fine things are linens. I sleep on Brielle Bamboo Rayon sheets from the O as do my guest rooms. It was time for a change from the standard white towel sets that I have. They were given as gifts and I do love a classic white towel but I wanted something different for my guest bedroom and guest bath. I had my adult son in mind as he lives in Japan 15 years. In my guest room I have Japanese Shoji screens actually to hide items that I use often and need to grab quickly. So the Vicki Payne Chippendale towel set seemed to be right up my alley since the geometric design tied in with the whole Asian theme. I ordered the taupe and chocolate. I have taupe carpet, walls and tongue and groove ceiling. These towels are amazing! Beautiful and not thick like many high end towels do. They coordinate with more things than you can imagine including another room with Lenox linens. I took a shower and used my first Vicki Payne towel. Wicked moisture beautifully and again, did not take up so much space by not being overly plush. Trifold and hung to dry. Dried quickly which is a plus for Florida living. Love them so much, came back for another set for my master bedroom. I am now a Vicki Payne convert!
