Beach towel Handmade and Fairtrade

This Aegean Turkish Terry Towel features an expertly crafted stripe on one side, terry backing on the other, and is finished with a classic eyelash fringe.

These blankets are wonderfully versatile in size and purpose, making them ideal as bath, beach, and travel towels.

Made of 100% Turkish cotton and weighing 67" x 36", each piece is handmade with love in Turkey, making them truly one-of-a-kind. To best preserve their quality, machine washes cold with like colors and hang dry or tumble dry on low. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, and if a pull appears, simply cut the loop to avoid unraveling.

 

Artisan Profile

Originally used in Turkish baths, Turkish towels, also known as pentamers or hammam towels, have been traditionally hand-loomed in Turkey for centuries. They are made using extra-long, tightly woven fibers which gives them a lightweight, yet highly absorbent quality. The patterns feature vibrant motifs conveying the timeless heritage of the Anatolia culture.

Our Turkish towels are loomed by small, family-owned workshops in the Denizli region of Turkey. Weaving is the main source of income for these skilled weavers, who pride themselves on keeping the looming tradition alive, utilizing manual craftsmanship without compromising quality. They only use eco-friendly, OEKO-TEX certified, 100% natural fibers such as cotton and bamboo, and colors are achieved through non-harmful dyes. Tassels are hand-knotted by women in their homes.
