Peştemals (Turkish bath "hammam" towels) were first woven in 18th century Turkey, and are now also used as sand-free beach towels, shawls, throws and home decor.

At home, they look great on practically anything. They're perfect for travel and adventures as well: they fold compact, dry quickly to prevent bacteria, can be used to sit on or to wear, and sand falls off easily so you don't take the beach home.

Our authentic Turkish peştemals are 100% cotton. They get softer, fluffier, and more absorbent with every wash.
