A Better Bath Towel
Turkish baths, called hammams, can be traced back to the 7th century, and were influenced by Roman and Byzantine bathing traditions, which included towels for drying off. By the 17th century, Ottoman weavers began to apply their deft rug-weaving talent towards embellishing these functional textiles. Today, when you want a good-quality towel, you still head to Turkey, where the craft has continued to adapt to modern technologies, and producers continue to refine and innovate their techniques and materials.

Design & Materials
The Peshtemal is a classic Turkish towel, with twisted fringe and subtle stripes. Originally designed for a long afternoon in the hammam, it’s flatwoven, so it dries quickly and can be wrapped comfortably around your body. Available in a palette of harmonious neutrals, its multifunctionality means it’s easily carried from bath to pool to beach.
The Material:Long-staple organic Turkish cotton is GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified, soft, and absorbent. It’s grown in the Bergama region of Turkey along the Aegean coast, where it’s fed by seaside air before being finely flatwoven into a towel of a lightweight 360 grams per square meter, or GSM. This weave gives it antibacterial properties: because there are no loops or pile, it’s less likely to trap bacteria.
The Supplier:Because one of our main offices is in Istanbul, we were able to take our time scouting expert mills across Turkey, zeroing in on the highest-quality partner. Our supplier understands that quality textiles are only achieved with quality yarn—so they built their own yarn factory to ensure they only use the best. During multiple test rounds with them, we determined The Peshtemal’s optimal softness and absorbency, refined the design, and perfected each hue.
