Meet one of our favorites, the Ephesus Peshtemal. A bit weightier than some of our other models, this peshtemal is a great lightweight blanket for home or travel and doubles as a stylish scarf or shawl. This is of course in addition to being a towel for home or beach/pool! We love the modern pattern and substantial feel of it, but also appreciate the absorbency and quick-drying flat weave that is essential to all properly-made peshtemal!
Made from 100% hand-loomed Turkish cotton in the inner Aegean region of Denizli. We have carefully sourced our Turkish textiles to ensure that the manufacturing process supports small, family-run businesses. Please embrace any variations in size or weaving as a unique quality of your handmade piece.

We love using the Ephesus as a scarf, shawl or throw, thanks to its bold pattern. It also makes a great beach blanket for yoga, you can even roll your mat right on top of it to keep the sand away.
