Hammam Towels

These towels are hand-loomed in Bursa, Turkey a city famous for the origins of towel production since the 17th century. Hammam towels made of long-fiber Bergama cotton grown in the İzmir region. İzmir's climate and soil conditions contribute to the material's softness, absorbency, and durability. The towels will become increasingly soft over time.

The common name hammam towel, refers to their use in Turkish bath houses called hammams. Regionally known as peshtemal from the Persian پشتمال or fouta in Arabic فوطة referring to a cotton towel for the body. Measuring 3.2 feet by 6 feet they are as large as a beach towel and can be used as a bath towel, a garment wrap, a blanket. Its special weave absorbs well while drying quickly and sand shakes off easily as it doesn't  embed into the weave. These towels are dense but light, flowing and thinner than conventional towels making them very comfortable and packable.

Each design is produced in small batches.
