DUTIES INCLUDED
Turkish towels have been part of daily life in Turkish homes and hammams for generations, and once you’ve used one, a thick terry towel feels heavy. Our Turkish bath towel set is hand-loomed from 100% Turkish cotton with tassels on both pieces. It’s soft on the skin, quick to dry, and light enough to go from the bathroom to the gym bag to the beach.
This Turkish bath towel set is hand-loomed from 100% Turkish cotton: light, absorbent, quick-drying, and finished with tassels on both towels.
Choose from two black-and-white striped designs: bold stripes for a graphic, modern look, or thin stripes for something quieter and more classic. Both suit coastal, minimalist or spa-inspired bathrooms. Buy the bath towel with tassels on its own, or as a Turkish tassel bath and hand towel set, which makes a ready-made spa towel bundle for gifting.
Why Turkish Bath Towels Dry Faster
Terry towels trap water in thick loops. Turkish cotton is flat-woven, so air moves through it and moisture evaporates much more quickly. That’s why a towel that dries you properly after a shower is still thin enough to roll into a beach bag or travel case.
Why You'll Turkish Bath Towels
- 100% Turkish cotton, woven in Turkey on traditional looms

Get To Know YOUR Turkish bath towels
A Turkish towel, traditionally called a peshtemal or hammam towel — is a flat-woven cotton towel that originated in Ottoman bathhouses. Instead of terry loops, the cotton is woven flat and finished with knotted fringe, which is why it's thinner, lighter, and dries far faster than a conventional towel. The fringe isn't decorative: it's the warp threads, hand-knotted to stop the weave from unravelling.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low, or hang dry to protect the fringe. Wash before first use — a new Turkish towel feels crisp until the first wash opens up the weave. Skip fabric softener and dryer sheets entirely; they coat the cotton fibers and are the single most common reason a Turkish towel stops absorbing.
Wash it separately the first time or two — the dyes are colorfast, but new cotton releases a little excess dye and loose fiber. After that it goes in with anything, as long as you keep it away from zippers and hooks that can snag the weave.
Yes. It's 100% cotton with nothing coating the fibers — no softeners, no anti-microbial finish, no synthetic blend. The flat weave is gentler than terry pile on delicate skin, and because it dries quickly it doesn't hold the damp that irritates skin conditions
