Peshtemal is an oversize towel made of natural fibers like cotton and linen, characterized by its fringed edges and stripes and prized for its high absorption, quick drying time, thin profile and tendency to become softer with every wash.

Simple luxuries, many peshtemals are still made by true artisans from cotton, linen and sometimes silk and bamboo in Turkey, whose prime climate is well-known for producing some of the world’s finest textile fibers.
