Turkish Peshtemal Craftsmanship- Why our Beach towels are unique

Peshtemal or Peshtamal is considered to be the first towel ever made, dating back to the 17th century in Bursa, Turkey. Traditional Turkish towel were used in Turkish baths. They are also known as Pestamal, Fouta, Hamam towel. There are many kinds of peshtemals with different styles and colors in each local area of Turkey. They are produced in hand-woven looms and semi-automatic looms in Turkey. A real, authentic Peshtemal fabric is usually made of 100% Turkish cotton, a premium cotton that has extra long fibers. Using longer fiber cotton meaning that fewer joins, which results in stronger and longer threads. Because of Turkish Cotton, Turkish towels are known to become even softer, fluffier, and more absorbent with successive washings. Other quality towels may use the name of Turkish Towels but it needs to be made of 100% Turkish cotton to claim the true fame.
