Peshtemal is a woven fabric that has evolved from the historical Turkish hammam tradition. The Turkish peshtemal towels have been traditionally woven on hand looms by local villagers in the South-West of Turkey. Now, they have moved beyond the boundaries of hammam and have become trendy bath and beach towels. Peshtemal towels have a very distinctive stripy pattern with hand-finished tassels on the fringes which make them truly authentic. Cotton and bamboo blends are sought-after. Once folded peshtemal towels are compact to pack and carry. They are also lightweight, easy to wash and dry. With each wash, peshtemal towels will get softer and more absorbent.
