Turkish Hammam Towels (Peshtemal): Tradition Meets Modern Luxury

Step into the authentic heritage of the Turkish bath, or Hammam, with our beautiful Peshtemal textiles.

Originally used for centuries to elegantly cover the body while bathing, the Peshtemal has evolved into the ultimate multipurpose textile.1 Unlike bulky terrycloth, these towels are flat-woven from premium, long-fiber Turkish cotton.2 The result is a unique fabric that is lightweight, ultra-absorbent, and famously quick-drying.

Each piece showcases artisanal craftsmanship—from the distinctive flat weave and elegant stripes to the hand-finished, knotted tassels.4 They are a genuinely versatile luxury: soft on the skin, durable, and remarkably compact, making them the perfect companion for home, travel, the beach, or even as stylish apparel like ponchos, kaftans, and lightweight bathrobes. Experience the comfort, style, and history of this Turkish essential.
