What is a peshtemal?
The original Turkish towel
For centuries the peshtemal was the cloth of the Turkish hammam: thin, flat woven cotton, finished with a knotted fringe. Today it goes from the bathroom to the beach, the pool and the boat deck, and it is the towel most Americans picture when they hear "Turkish towel".
Ours are woven from 100% Turkish cotton in Denizli, Turkey, with stripes woven in rather than printed, so the color lasts.
