The absolute classic Turkish peshtemal, updated! This stripe pattern is the OG of all Turkish towels and what you see in the hamams (Turkish baths). While the originals have a wider weave and stiff texture that softens over time, our Lygos line is pre-washed and already soft. It also has a tighter weave than the classic for maximum absorbency. Use them as you would any towel - bath, hand, kitchen, beach, pool and so on but don't forget their many additional uses. We love using them as a scarf, shawl, and picnic blanket.
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.
Weight: 9 ounces
Lygos is one of the original settlements on the European side of the Bosphorus strait, now home to Istanbul. The bridge between Europe and Asia, Istanbul needs very little introduction as its rich history is well known globally.
Wash as with any other cotton textile:
Machine wash warm
Tumble dry low
Line dry is recommended but not required
