OUR HISTORY

In Japan, during teahouse ceremonies, a piece of cloth was soaked in hot water and offered to travellers who stopped to rest.

This piece of cloth was called Oshibori. Preserved over the centuries in Asia, Oshibori is still the most common gesture of welcome practiced today.

To simplify this gesture of welcome, the proposed garment became a simple wet cotton towel. In 2013, Franck SALAMA, during a trip to Japan in the Nagoya region, decided to give back to the Oshibori its noble letters.

An entrepreneur at heart, and a man of the field. It is with a masterful hand that Franck leads the strategy of Oshibori Concept International.

In the spring of 2014, Liza Marshall joined the Oshibori Concept International adventure and gave it a new lease of life. With her extensive experience in the luxury goods industry, Liza is responsible for the commercial and operational development of the company.

A common vision: To make Oshibori a standard of luxury codes on the international market.

OUR CONCEPT

Oshibori can be used hot, cold or simply at room temperature. Indeed, our towels can be put in their case a few seconds in the microwave, in the hot caby, in the oven or placed in the refrigerator a few hours before use.

In addition, the watertightness of the Oshibori Concept towels’ packaging guarantees 24 months of humidification and provides a comfort worthy of a Made In France cosmetic product.

All our products have: a 2-year shelf life, tested under dermatological control and evaluated for skin and eye safety.

Unlike most cosmetic products, Oshibori respects all skin types.
