Abyss & Habidecor FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A&H Product Questions

Are colour swatches available before ordering?

We keep several complete sets of Super Pile Hand Towels in stock at all times. Simply pick the colour(s) you're interested in and we'll ship out your hand towel(s) to verify colour prior to a larger towel order.

When you've confirmed your colours, either keep the hand towels you've received, or return them for a full refund.

If you'd like to return the sample towels the easiest process is to have us send you a pre-paid return shipping label with your new towel order. Simply place the sample towels in the shipping carton, apply the return label and drop off or arrange pick up with the courier.

Will the colour look like the pictures?

Although we strive for accuracy there are a few variables which are out of our control, including the colour settings of your display device. When an exact colour match is required, we recommend ordering Super Pile hand towel samples prior to placing your finalized order.

Will the colour of my towels and rugs match?

Abyss towels & Habidecor rugs are made in separate facilities in Portugal. Due to differences in climate and technique a complete match should not be expected. The shading differences are usually very subtle and is almost never noticeable with rugs placed on the floor, visually separated from the towels.

Are Abyss towels pre-shrunk?

Yes, Abyss towels are always pre-shrunk, and will never pucker at the ends. What you see in the pictures or on the store shelf is what you'll see on your towel rack after dozens of washings.

Help, my towel has a snag, what do I do?

Sometimes a towel will catch on a wedding ring or other obstacle. If pulls or snags should occur, simply snip them off. This will not affect the towel.

What if I'm near one of your stores?

That's great! If you're near one of our stores in CalgaryEdmonton and Sherwood Park pop by any time. We have display model Super Pile hand towels in all 60 colours. These are available to sign-out with a deposit.

You'll also see our full in-stock selection of towels and rugs, all of which are available to take home today.

Can I return an Abyss & Habidecor product?

We will accept a return and provide a full refund provided that the following criteria are met:

  • The item must be regularly stocked
  • The item must be unused, and unwashed. All labels must be intact and still attached as new from the factory
  • You must return the item to us within 60 days of when it was delivered to you

To determine if a product is regularly stocked please read the "Availability & Lead Times" tab on any product page on this website. This section will make mention of sizes or configurations of a particular product that are regularly stocked. If you are still unsure, please talk to a team member for clarity on the return eligibility of any specific product.

As many of our items are considered intimate in their use, we feel we have a moral and ethical responsibility to not re-sell used towels, pillows, bedding or mattresses and as such we cannot accept returns of mattresses or textile goods that have been opened, used, tampered with or laundered.

Please see The Sleep Sound Guaratee® for more details.

Who pays the return shipping fees?
