Where We started
The Towel Factory Shop (TFS) began its journey in the heart of Lansdowne, Cape Town, with a simple but powerful idea — to make quality towels and linen accessible to everyone. What started as a modest outlet specialising in second-grade and factory-overrun stock soon grew into a trusted local favourite known for excellent value and friendly service.
From those early days on Imam Haron Road, TFS became a go-to destination for households, salons, and small businesses looking for affordable, durable textile essentials. By combining strong supplier relationships with a hands-on approach to customer care, the business built a reputation rooted in consistency, trust, and genuine value.
Over time, TFS expanded its product range beyond towels to include a full collection of bedding, curtains, and hospitality linen, catering to both retail customers and bulk buyers. This steady growth inspired the creation of TFS Hospitality — a specialised division focused on supplying the hospitality and accommodation industry with premium-grade linens, bedding, and bath essentials.
Today, while our operations continue to evolve, TFS Hospitality stands as an independent, founder-driven business committed to excellence. We’re proud of where we started — and even prouder of how far we’ve come.
