Serbest Cotton/Linen Towel
Serbest Cotton/Linen Towel
This is a traditional Turkish Bath Towel, made from a blend of cotton and linen. These towels come from a small family business run by multiple generations of weavers in Antakya, Türkiye. I have had the pleasure of working with them since 2016, and after years of vending at music festivals, I am so happy to now offer their beautiful, quality towels through my small online shop.
If you are new to using Turkish towels, welcome! I trust that you will get used to them quite quickly and fall in love, as so many have. With their full coverage, quick-drying versatility, they are a practical luxury, perfect for travel, excellent in humid climates, fantastic gifts, and a beautiful upgrade to your everyday bathing ritual.
This is also a handmade item made from natural fibers, and as such has its characteristic idiosyncrasies and variations. Like many folk traditions, it will look and feel better with age. These flat-weave towels get softer and more absorbent with a few washings—don’t be afraid to wash them 3 or 4 times before using.
Approximate dimensions 1 meter x 2 meters.
Care instructions: Wash cool-warm, dry medium heat.
