What Is Oshibori Concept?
Born in France in 2011, Oshibori Concept reinvented a centuries-old Japanese hospitality tradition: the oshibori, a moist, scented refreshing towel offered to guests as a gesture of welcome. Manufactured in Douai, France, under ISO 22716 cosmetic certification and tested dermatologically, each towel is made from 100% cotton, individually sealed for freshness, and available in signature fragrances including white tea, green tea, and orange blossom.
Oshibori Concept is the only oshibori brand officially endorsed by Forbes Travel Guide and trusted by properties such as Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Mandarin Oriental, Waldorf Astoria, and St. Regis worldwide.

Oshibori in the United States: French Craftsmanship Meets Japanese Hospitality
The combination is intentional.
The oshibori itself comes from a Japanese tradition centered around anticipation, comfort and thoughtful hospitality. The product is manufactured in France, where Oshibori Concept controls its production according to European cosmetic standards.
For American luxury businesses, this creates a distinctive amenity that brings together Japanese-inspired hospitality, French craftsmanship and American service culture.
It can be introduced at a hotel check-in, placed in a restaurant setting, offered after a spa treatment or integrated into a VIP event. The gesture remains simple, but its presentation can be adapted to each environment.
Why Choose a Made-in-France Oshibori?
The origin of a hospitality product matters when quality, traceability and consistency are part of the guest experience.
Our oshibori are manufactured in France in accordance with the ISO 22716 cosmetics standard, providing controlled production and traceability. The formula is dermatologically tested and designed for use on the hands and face.
For American hotels and hospitality brands, choosing a Made-in-France oshibori also adds a distinctive European dimension to an otherwise familiar amenity.
Fully Customizable for Your Brand
A luxury amenity should feel like part of the brand, not something added at the last minute.
Oshibori Concept offers customization options that allow businesses to incorporate their logo, colors, language and packaging design into the guest experience. Custom scents can also be developed for larger projects.
This makes the oshibori particularly relevant for hotel brands, restaurants, spas, private clubs and VIP events looking for a more distinctive hospitality touchpoint.
Where Can You Use Oshibori in the US?
The versatility of the oshibori makes it suitable for a wide range of premium environments.
In the United States, they can be integrated into luxury hotels, fine-dining restaurants, spas, private clubs, wellness centers, luxury retail and VIP transportation.
They can be offered at arrival, before a meal, during a treatment or as part of a private event. Warm or chilled, personalized or understated, the format can be adapted to the moment and the identity of the brand.
A Simple Gesture, Made for Premium Hospitality
The oshibori does not need to be complicated to make an impression.
A guest arrives. A towel is offered. They take a moment to refresh.
That small interaction can become part of how they remember the experience.
With Oshibori Concept USA and Le Must, Made-in-France oshibori are now available to hospitality professionals across the United States, bringing together Japanese-inspired hospitality, French manufacturing and customizable branding in one simple gesture.
