Know before you buy
Unlike thick terry cloth, this Turkish towel is woven from flat-loomed cotton. This makes it significantly thinner and lighter, allowing it to dry much faster and pack down to a fraction of the size of a traditional towel.
Yes. Turkish cotton fibers naturally soften and become more absorbent with each wash. We recommend washing it before its first use to help the fibers bloom and improve their performance.
Absolutely. Because it is crafted from 100% Turkish cotton without the use of harsh chemicals or synthetic dyes, the texture is gentle and spa-quality, making it suitable for all skin types.
To keep the tassels in good condition, we recommend washing the towel in a mesh laundry bag on a gentle cycle. This prevents them from tangling or catching on other items in the machine.
Yes, at 70" x 40", it provides ample coverage. Its lightweight nature makes it easy to tie around your waist or shoulders as a sarong without feeling heavy or bulky.
