Immerse yourself in the rich heritage and unparalleled comfort of peshtemal towels. Known for their elegant designs, lightweight feel, and versatile uses, these Turkish towels are a staple for beachgoers, travelers, and those who appreciate quality and tradition. At Riviera Towel Company, we are dedicated to offering premium peshtemal towels that align with our core missions of economic and ecological sustainability.
The History and Tradition of Peshtemal Towels
Peshtemal towels, also known as Turkish towels, have a history that stretches back centuries. Originally used in Turkish baths, or hammams, these towels are crafted from Turkish cotton, which is celebrated for its long fibers that enhance softness and durability. The traditional weaving techniques have been passed down through generations, preserving the cultural heritage and artistry of these exquisite towels.
Why Peshtemal Towels Are a Must-Have
Lightweight and Portable
One of the most appealing features of peshtemal towels is their lightweight and compact nature. Unlike bulky terry cloth towels, peshtemal towels can be easily folded into a small, space-saving bundle, making them perfect for travel. Whether you're heading to the beach, the gym, or on a hiking trip, a peshtemal towel fits effortlessly into your bag.
Quick-Drying and Absorbent
Peshtemal towels are renowned for their quick-drying capabilities. The unique weave of Turkish cotton allows these towels to absorb water efficiently and dry much faster than traditional towels. This quick-drying property is particularly beneficial in humid climates or when you're on the go and need a towel that can dry rapidly.
Versatile and Stylish
The versatility of peshtemal towels is another reason they are so popular. They can be used as beach towels, bath towels, picnic blankets, sarongs, shawls, and even decorative throws for your home. Their beautiful patterns and vibrant colors make them a stylish addition to any setting.

Caring for Your Peshtemal Towels
To keep your peshtemal towels in top condition for years to come, proper care is essential. Here are some tips for maintaining their quality:
Washing Instructions
Wash your peshtemal towels in cold water before the first use to set the color and improve absorbency.
Use a gentle detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can damage the fibers.
Wash with like colors to prevent color bleeding.
Drying Instructions
Air drying is the best way to maintain the integrity of the fibers. If you prefer using a dryer, choose a low heat setting.
Avoid over-drying, as this can make the towels stiff. Remove them from the dryer while they are still slightly damp and hang them to finish drying.
Storage Tips
Store your peshtemal towels in a dry, cool place to prevent mildew or odor buildup.
Fold them neatly or roll them to save space and keep them looking fresh.
