Christy
The Christy story begins in 1850 with the invention of the towel as we know it today…
Henry Christy returned to England from Constantinople with a sample of looped pile fabric which was new to the Western World. After studying the fabric along with his inventor brother, a machine was created which allowed terry towelling to be produced on a large scale.
A year later, the first terry towel was in production and this was shown at the Great Exhibition in 1851. Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, was presented with a set of these, she immediately ordered more and the rest as they say is history…
In 1951 Christy celebrated its centenary, 100 years of the Royal Turkish towel.
Special towels were produced to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and then again to celebrate the Silver Jubilee in 1977.
In 1988, Christy became the official towel supplier The Championships, Wimbledon. It is no surprise that the Christy towel used on Centre Court by the players has now become an iconic part of The Championships.
Christy's strong knowledge of cotton gained from over 170 years in textiles has meant our bed linen is now as well regarded as our towels.
