What is a Peshtemal?



A peshtemal or pestemal is a traditional towel used in Hammam, hence also called Hammam towels. For starters, Hammam is a traditional steam bath dating back to the Ottoman empire. Peshtemal is used to wrap the body allowing bathers to maintain their privacy making it a staple in a hammam setting. Apart from its functional useş, its absorbency makes them as good as a regular towel you can use to dry up. Unlike regular terry cloth towels, however, peshtemals dry faster. Moreover, they are lighter and take less space making them ideal go-to towels you can use on beaches and pools.


What is an Autoloom Peshtemal
Our collection of Auto Looms is crafted using a weaver powered by electricity which actual weaving is entirely automatic and performs in exactly the same manner. As a result, the fabric has a more consistent output. There are also fewer defects due to its use of tertiary motion that keeps the fabric from breaking. They are ideal for summer wear since they are thinner and more breathable.



Material


All our Peshtemals are handmade in Turkey by master craftswomen. Traditional hammam peshtemals are woven in hand looms using the finest Turkish cotton in old traditional weaving techniques. Apart from our wide range of 100% Turkish Cotton, we also have our collection of Eco-friendly Peshtemals made from a blend of different recycled fabrics and yarns that gives the peshtemal its soft feel. By using recycled products, our aim is to reduce textile wastes that fill up a part of our landfills and freshwater.
