Turkish Towels (Peshtemal & Hammam Towels) – Handwoven in Turkey
A Turkish towel can be used every day while still looking good for years. Also known as a peshtemal or hammam towel, each Buldano towel is woven by hand in Turkey on traditional wooden looms.
The yarn is made from 100% organic Turkish cotton, grown nearby, spun locally, then washed and pressed so the edges lie flat. Each towel is lightweight enough to fit into a handbag, yet absorbent enough to dry the body as effectively as a much thicker towel.
How Is a Turkish Towel Different from a Regular Towel?
Long-staple Turkish cotton forms smooth, durable fibers. Instead of a looped terry pile, Turkish towels are woven with a flat weave, allowing air to pass through the fabric and helping it dry quickly.
Because the towel does not contain thick terry loops, it does not stay damp and is far less likely to develop sour or musty odors.
Five practical advantages people notice right away:
- Absorbs water efficiently while remaining lightweight.
- Dries in open air within one to two hours without trapping moisture.
- Folds down to the size of a book and fits easily in carry-on luggage.
- Feels soft from the first use and becomes even softer over time.
- Can double as a blanket, shawl, or tablecloth when needed.
For more than six centuries, bathhouse attendants have relied on these towels because they withstand thousands of washes while maintaining their strength and function.
Organic Turkish Cotton Towels – Woven by Hand
Buldano towels are made from cotton grown without pesticides in Turkey’s Aegean region. Village weavers stretch the warp threads on narrow wooden looms and pass the shuttle back and forth for hours until each cloth reaches nearly three meters in length.
Once woven, the fabric is cut, the fringes are knotted by hand, and the towel is gently steamed to lock in the weave. Every purchase supports fair wages and helps preserve a traditional craft passed down through generations.
Turkish Towels – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Turkish towel?
A Turkish towel is a flat-woven cotton towel traditionally made in Turkey. Also known as a peshtemal or hammam towel, it is woven using long-staple Turkish cotton, which allows the towel to be lightweight, highly absorbent, and quick-drying.
How is a Turkish towel different from a regular towel?
Unlike regular terry towels that use thick looped fibers, Turkish towels are woven flat. This flat weave allows air to pass through the fabric, helping it dry faster and resist mildew. Turkish towels are also lighter, easier to pack, and more versatile than standard towels.
Why are Turkish towels so absorbent?
Turkish towels are made from long-staple Turkish cotton, which has smooth, strong fibers that absorb water efficiently. While they may feel thinner at first, Turkish towels become increasingly absorbent after a few washes as the fibers relax and open.
Are Turkish towels better than terry towels?
Turkish towels are often preferred for their lightweight feel, fast drying time, and versatility. While terry towels are thick and plush, they tend to stay damp longer. Turkish towels dry quickly, resist odors, and work well for daily use, travel, and humid environments.
Can Turkish towels be used at the beach?
Yes. Turkish towels are excellent beach towels because they are sand-resistant, lightweight, and dry quickly in the sun. They are easy to carry and can double as a wrap, blanket, or cover-up when needed.
Can you use Turkish towels every day?
Absolutely. Turkish towels are durable enough for everyday use and become softer over time. Their fast-drying nature makes them especially practical for daily bathing and frequent washing.
How do you care for Turkish towels?
Turkish towels are easy to care for. Machine wash in cold or warm water with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers. Tumble dry on low or hang to air dry. Over time, the towels will become softer and more absorbent.
Are all Turkish towels made in Turkey?
No. While the name is widely used, not all Turkish towels are made in Turkey. Authentic Turkish towels are woven in Turkey using Turkish cotton. Buldano towels are handwoven in Turkey by skilled artisans using traditional methods.
