Abstract
Decorative, non-launderable trim pieces are added to launderable towels with a releasable attachment means so that the trim pieces can be replaced to effect changes in decor. The ability to remove the trim piece prior to laundering of the towel permits the use of materials that would be damaged by laundering. Preferably, the attachment means is a plurality of male fastener components attached to a first flexible support that is secured to the trim strip back, and a plurality of mating female fastener components attached to a second flexible support, that is secured to the surface of the towel.
