Cotton and Linen Pestemal Bath Towel

This pestemal bath towel, crafted from 70% organic Turkish cotton and 30% flax linen threads, combines the best of both materials. Sourced from the fertile Bergama district in Turkey, the premium-quality cotton is valued for its softness, durability, and absorbency. The linen content ensures the towels are lightweight, highly absorbent, fast-drying, and long-lasting. Measuring 38" x 72".

The hand-loomed pestemal has a loose, double-weave that enhances its texture and softness over time. Traditional pestemal towels are known for their quick absorption and drying, making them perfect for use in the bathroom, pool, spa, or beach, and even as a throw for your couch or bed. Crafted by a company of smallholder weavers in Bursa, Turkey, these handmade pestemals showcase 17th-century traditional weaving techniques.

The cotton-linen blend offers improved breathability, making it comfortable in hot and humid weather. The blend efficiently wicks moisture away from the skin, while the combination of cotton's softness and linen's strength provides durability and a unique texture. Additionally, the blend is more wrinkle-resistant than pure linen fabric, ensuring your pestemal towel remains an attractive and practical accessory for years to come.
