Always read the care label before washing
After each wash, your peshtemal towel will get softer and more absorbent
It is recommended to wash your towels before you use them for the first time
Wash on a gentle cycle programme, max 40C.
Try not to use the fabric conditioner
We don’t recommend tumble-drying. If it is preferred for the sake of convenience, we only recommend low-heat tumble-drying. The best practice is to leave your peshtemal towels to air-dry on their own. It is much better for the environment as well as for your energy bills
Keep them away from strong, direct heat while drying
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.
The Peshtemal towels have a very distinctive stripy pattern with hand-finished tassels on the fringes which make them truly authentic. They are 100% pure cotton. Cotton and bamboo blends are also sought-after. The size of the peshtemal hand towel is average 50 x 90 cm and once folded, it is absolutely compact to pack and carry. It is also lightweight, easy to wash and dry. With each wash, these peshtemal towels will get softer and more absorbent.
The Turkish peshtemal towels are very versatile and long lasting towels. Their compactness allows them to be used in various occasions as a picnic blanket, sofa throw, children’s blanket, tablecloth or sarong. Peshtemal bathrobes for adults and children are also excellent bath and beachwear with their fast drying properties and lightness. Bamboo blends are highly recommended as baby towels and spa towels.
These towels are hugely popular in the Turkish Riviera and increasingly so in Europe and America.

I recently discovered Olive & Cotton’s elite pestemal towels and have been so impressed with the sheer luxury of them. They have certainly a more spa-like quality to them. Olive & Cotton’s range is much more than beach towels. I would say that these would make wonderful summer guest towels or even, just something special to spoil yourself with! The white towel is lovely.

Bought a set of elite Peshtemal bath towels as a Christmas gift for a good friend. Towels had a luxury look and feel. My friend was pleased with the gift and I’m thinking of getting some for my house. Definitely will buy them again as a gift.

These towels are just gorgeous. Large and enveloping after a shower but still so light – and so soft and luxurious. I knew they’d be lovely as I’d had them recommended but I was surprised at just how lovely they are – highly recommended.

I had already used the trendy peshtemals quite a lot and had the Anatolia towels for holidays because of their quick drying and lightweight properties and had been delighted with them – I had also eyed up these on the website to get when we redid our bathroom!
Well, bathroom redone and these installed along with the matching handtowels – they are just gorgeous!
As well as looking wonderful they are lovely to use and like their thinner sisters they are quick to dry, wash well and are great to wrap up in.
Definite affordable luxury – thank you

Just gorgeous!
A wonderful absorbent bath towel. This towel is beautifully made- I love the tassels. It feels great to wrap yourself in after a shower/bath. It looks stunning in the bathroom- so much nicer than thick conventional bath towels which take an age to dry. I cannot praise this product enough. If you love style and want a contemporary, chilled look in your bathroom then this is the towel for you! Enjoy….
