- Price
- $58
Meet your new favourite towel for every occasion. The Aegean Turkish Towel by Slate + Salt is handwoven from 100% OEKO-TEX certified Turkish cotton in the Denizli region of Turkey — a place with centuries of weaving tradition behind it. Subtle stripes and a signature eyelash fringe give it a timeless look that works just as well at the beach as it does in the bathroom. It also makes a genuinely thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates quality, craft, and a little everyday luxury.
✨ Features
- 🧵 100% Turkish Cotton: Made from extra-long, tightly woven fibres for a lightweight yet highly absorbent finish that only gets better with use.
- 📐 Generous Size: Measures 67" x 36" — larger than a standard towel, so it works beautifully as a bath towel, beach towel, beach blanket, or sarong.
- ✋ Handmade in Turkey: Loomed by skilled artisans in small, family-owned workshops in Denizli. Tassels are hand-knotted by women working from home.
- 🌿 OEKO-TEX Certified: Dyed using non-harmful dyes and made with eco-friendly, natural fibres — kind to your skin and the planet.
- 🎨 One-of-a-Kind: As with all handcrafted goods, slight variations mean each towel is truly unique.

About SLATE + SALT
Slate + Salt is a socially conscious lifestyle brand offering a curated collection of modern, one-of-a-kind pieces handcrafted by artisans around the world. Their collections include jewelry, accessories, textiles, and decorative objects — all created using traditional techniques and fair trade practices.
Their mission is simple and powerful: to connect modern design with ancient craftsmanship, while supporting dignified work opportunities in communities facing extreme poverty.
Slate + Salt works closely with small social enterprises and Fair Trade cooperatives to ensure that every product supports ethical production, fair wages, and long-term economic empowerment — especially for women artisans.
Every item has a story.
Behind each piece is a person, a family, and a community. By choosing ethically produced goods, you help artisans remain in their villages, support their families, educate their children, and preserve cultural traditions that might otherwise disappear.
Because all products are handmade and often hand-dyed, each piece is naturally unique. Slight variations are part of their beauty — a reminder that these are not mass-produced objects, but human creations made with care.
Slate + Salt was founded by an avid traveler who fell in love with the people, cultures, and craftsmanship she encountered across developing countries. Through deep relationships with artisan groups and Fair Trade partners, the brand brings meaningful, ever-evolving collections to a global community that values beauty with purpose.
At Clozist, we are proud to feature Slate + Salt because their work reflects what we believe in: products that are beautiful, ethical, meaningful — and that create positive impact through everyday choices.
