These towels are hand-loomed in Bursa, Turkey, a city famous for the origins of towel production since the 17th century. These towels are 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 a style bath houses called a hammam popular in Arabic cultures for over a millennia. Also known as peshtemal from the Persian پشتمال or fouta in Arabic فوطة, both referring to a cotton towel for the body. These towels measure 3.2 feet by 6 feet, as large as a beach towel and can be used as a bath towel, a garment wrap, a blanket, a shade cloth or carrying sack. Its tight elaborate weave absorbs well while drying quickly, sand and dirt shake off easily as it doesn't embed into this type of weave. The weave is also more dense while remaining thin, light and flowing making them more comfortable, packable, usable and beautiful than conventional terrycloth towels.

The best

I bought my first order of Palestinian Soap Coop soap in the autumn due to major issues with my skin. When I first got it in, even my spouse was skeptical of a bar soap with minimal ingredients. Needless to say, he now has his own bar so he can stop stealing mine. We’ve ordered 2 boxes and hope to order more.

We also love the towels and other items they have on the webpage; I think we’ve bought them out of the towels 🥰

Also 🆓🇵🇸

My favorite soap and towel ever!!

I was not sure what to think about the towel when I first got one a few years ago. It was thin and had fringe tassels, and it looked like a ver tv loosely woven cloth - but I started using it and I now dislike using other kinds of towels and bought a second so I have a backup! This towel is so fast at absorbing water and it just gets softer and softer 🧡 I have old joints and it’s so light weight for me to move around.

The soap is also delightful - I wash my whole body with it and use it as a shaving soap too. It cleans oily skin quickly but doesn’t over-dry. The fragrance is nonexistent but also light and fresh just its nature.

Notes From the Old Lady

I bought a few Hamman towels for holiday gifts, for myself, my daughter, and niece. This is my second one. It is gorgeous. I use one for a towel in the bathroom, and, one as a blanket on my bed. I am very pleased with my purchase, and hope the ladies are, as well.

soap and other products

The soap made with olive oil is the best I've ever used. I've been an Ivory man basically my whole life and it always made my face tight, needing to use face cream. Not so with this soap. It's nice wash up knowing i'll not be dried out afterwards. I bought other quality products as well. I like spending money for good products and a worthy cause at the same time.

Lovely towel and soap.

I’m really enjoying my beautiful towel every day. It washes well and dries quickly. And the almond soap is just perfect.

This soap is cleansing and loving the skin

This soap leaves my skin feeling soft, no residue, cleansed and able to breathe. It is literally a clean feeling. The best experience with a soap. This is Not an exaggeration. You have to try it to believe it.

Love this soap!

This Palestinian soap is so nice, I love using it. It lathers up really nicely, and the smell is so light and earthy, like clay. The bars are nice and thick, so they last a really long time. Plus, it feels great to be supporting Palestinians artisans!

Palestinian soap is amazing!!!

As a medical aesthetician I am super fussy about products I use. This soap is the best I've ever used. It leaves my skin so soft without stripping or drying. I love that it is made in a traditional way by family owned companies.

So much lather!

This soap is very gentle. I have very sensitive skin and I have had no irritation. There is so much lather and smells so clean. Thanks!

Palestinian Olive Oil Soap Is The Best Soap

I can't properly say just how much better my skin and scalp and hair have gotten since I started using olive oil soap. I recommend these soaps to everyone I meet. I'll continue buying for as long as I can.

Making Ethical Decisions

Finding this company by chance on an ethical decision changed my life and mindset. Ever since receiving my products I can’t stop raving about them. I purchased a bundle soapbox, an olive soap box for sons, and the towels. Speaking of towels I went from 1 as a tryout to now the whole household has some Plus extras(every time I see new colors and designs). I just went for a trip to see family and brought 2 with me (just in case of longer stay) needless to say I gave one to my sister because she couldn’t stop praising how lovely my towel was(it wrapped around my whole body and I’m plus plus size). The soaps & towels will be my go to for gifts for my entire family now. Thank you Palestinian Soap Co-Op you are indeed the best. I forgot to mention their customer service is top tier. You’ll ALWAYS get a human and not a robot 🤖. 100% authentic items & company.

Lovely

The soaps smell lovely. My skin feels cleaner and less itchy since switching to these

B
Bailey

Feels amazing, works great for avoiding the sun on the beach, and you can tell how much work is put into making the single towel just by looking at the pattern of the weave. Beautiful!

What are the care instructions for the Hammam Towel (100% cotton)? Can they be cleaned in a washing machine/what temperature and setting?

Facebook,Twitter

While the manufacturer recommends a lower temperature or line drying for the towels, we've found them to be very much able to handle any wash and dry settings and to not need to be cared for differently than normal clothing or towels.
