We are in love with this gauzy and lightweight pestemal in all of its bright and happy colorways, all interwoven with gold. The Halicarnassus is summertime in a towel and perfect for the beach or pool, to use as a cover up, or as a scarf/shawl for those cool summer evenings.
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.

About Halicarnassus:
Halicarnassus was an ancient Greek city that is located in Southwestern Turkey, now called Bodrum. It is a popular vacation spot, with a rich history sprinkled among the beautifully clear waters of the Aegean. Ruins of numerous temples, an amphitheater, and the Bodrum castle (in which there is actually a nightclub) can all be visited today.
