"The Paydas family run Cotton & Olive from their family home in Surrey. Their love of sharing their culture and Turkish heritage has inspired the brand. 

In 2012, they decided to put a modern twist on the traditional Turkish ‘peshtemal’– a cotton towel with over 600 years of history and a staple of hammam culture. Their lightweight, compact size, quick absorption and drying speed make them versatile enough for just about anything. Camping, travelling, napping – you name it.

Cotton & Olive are on a mission to share this secret with the rest of the world."
