First and business class passengers travelling on Virgin Atlantic flights can relax and shower in the company’s new arrival lounges.

To make sure that the showers, too, are luxurious,Virgin asked Richard Haworth & Co to develop a towel in keeping with the sumptuous surroundings.

To create the Virgin towel, Haworth used ring-spun cotton giving a weight for each towel of 650gsm. Larger than usual sizes ensure that the towels wrap completely round the body.
