This set had new tags attached from Dillards in the 1970's.  I had to remove the tags and I did wash this set.  The set had been stored in a closet for years!  They were a bit dusty/musty and I just couldn't sell them like that.  They washed very well and are beautiful vintage/retro towels.  So, they have never been used by anybody. I will include the original Dillards tags that were attached before washing.
