I was recently introduced to the "Turkish Bath Towel" (aka Peshtemal), a lightweight, super absorbent and ultra-soft towel that is commonly found all over Turkey. I saw some gorgeous ones in Washington DC but at $35 a pop I'm going to need to save up. The woman selling them said they double as great scarves in the winter or beach towels in the summer. Plus I think the colors and patterns are really pretty. Someday....
Reminds me of our kikois from Cape Town. I use mine to dry my hair after a shower, it doesn't cause frizz like a normal towel does.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Amber uses her kikois to wrap her baby in. These look like they could be great for that too.
Pretty impressed with your blog post , you have shown such a greatest shades or patterns of Turkish towels , they are exactly OOO LaLa!
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa,
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful, I am in love with Peshtemals! A friend sent me a surprise birthday gift from www.peshie.com, they are not as expensive as the other websites that I have seen, and they have great customer service (I live in NY and they shipped in one day, I think they are in MA). Prices are $24 - $28 and they have great colors, I just bought a bunch for Holiday presents. Love your blog!

I bought my Turkish towels from The Anatolian on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheAnatolian) and I am extremely happy with the style, quality and the service. The towels are chemical free and 100% handwoven. Especially their beach collection is incredible (I would actually call them candy towels as they are in beautiful summer colors). The prices are not too different to what Taylor mentioned above ranging between $24 and $32 being the organic ones. Certainly recommend this shop!
ReplyDeleteThank you, the Turkish towels are beautiful!! Exactly like the pictures. Bought the stonewashed turkish towels and used for my sister's beach party giveaways in FL. They feel amazing :) Lovely, quality and light towels (www.thebeachstyle.com)
