Parachute's Turkish Cotton Towels Are Now As Low As $8

I didn't think I was a towel snob … but apparently I am. Love these!' —Lauren S.'First time purchasing these towels. I have wanted to try luxury towels for a few years and have recently been very impressed with Parachute's sheets. We are big on Restoration Hardware stuff, but Parachute's sheets AND towels, by far, are so much more comfortable and higher quality. We purchased both Parachute and RH Turkish towels recently, and we are not impressed with RH compared to Parachute's quality. I'm going on a little over a week using Parachute's, and these towels continually remain very soft day after day. No other towel like it; worth the investment!' —Will M'This is the second set of towels I've purchased from Parachute. The quality is excellent and worth paying a little extra for. They're soft, absorbent, and hold up well over several years of daily use.' —Sheri'When we were looking to purchase new towels for our master bathroom, I thought I'd try Parachute's towels. These are by far the best towels I've ever purchased. I look for absorbency as well as softness for comfort. I purchased in two colors that look fantastic in our new bathroom.' —Lisa B.'I was led to Parachute by online news articles. Bought a stack that matched my decor better than expected. But the feel of them fresh out of taking a shower is almost like some big fluffy fur. I love it. It handles moisture easily and looks great. But it's the FEEL on your body that adds an extra minute or two when drying off. Who knew? Well, now I do.' —Anonymous Get them from Parachute for $8+ (originally $14+; available in a variety of sizes, styles, and colors).

‘Q-Comm Cos Preying on Other Retail Channels to Drive Growth'
HighlightsOnly 6–8 per cent of sales on quick commerce platforms are truly incremental, with most growth occurring at the expense of modern trade and ecommerce. Quick commerce platforms, such as Zepto, Blinkit, and Instamart, are generating limited new demand and are primarily taking market share from other sales channels. Despite quick commerce being the fastest-growing sales channel, it still accounts for only 3-6 per cent of overall sales for most consumer goods firms in India. Only 6–8 per cent of sales on quick commerce platforms are truly incremental, while most of the channel's growth comes at the expense of other formats—primarily modern trade and ecommerce, followed by local kiranas, according to a report by Kearney. This is despite supermarkets and ecommerce platforms offering the steepest discounts to shoppers—typically in the range of 13–18 per cent, compared to 6–9 per cent on quick commerce and 2–5 per cent on kiranas or general trade, said the report exclusively shared with ET. Industry officials agreed that platforms such as Zepto , Blinkit , and Instamart are generating little in terms of new or additional demand. 'Quick commerce is taking some share from marketplaces, they are taking some share from general trade," said Saugata Gupta , managing director of Marico, maker of Parachute oil and Saffola cooking oil. To reduce ' cannibalistic sales ,' the company needs to 'ensure that we have a tailor-made portfolio to drive offtake, and not just give price discounting,' he added. While quick commerce started off as a top-up service for last-minute purchases for groceries and small-ticket items, it is now the fastest-growing sales channel, especially for premium portfolios. The contribution of quick commerce to ecommerce sales has been doubling every year, although on a small base. It roughly accounts for between 3-6 per cent of overall sales for most consumer goods firms in the country.
