Wimbledon's Official Championship Towels Are Manufactured in India by Christy
Wimbledon's official Championship towels have been produced by Christy since 1987, originally in Britain and now in Vapi, Gujarat, India, after Welspun acquired the brand over 15 years ago. Each towel, made from premium cotton yarn using a signature terry weave, takes about a week to produce. The design process begins 18 months before the tournament, incorporating seasonal colors and Wimbledon’s traditional green and purple. Players often take these towels home despite expectations to return them, making them prized keepsakes.
