Product Description Please wash your pestemal before first use. Pestemal towels get softer with each wash and are very durable. The Pestemal is also known as a Fouta Towel, Hammam Towel or a Turkish Bath Towel. The pestemal is a light, highly absorbent and fast drying, cotton woven cloth, traditionally used in Turkish Baths. The Pestemal originated around 600 years ago. The pestemal weaving custom has roots in an area once called Tripolis of Phrygia. This pestemal town is called Buldan today, a district in Southern Turkey. The pestemal is celebrated for being light yet highly absorbent. The smaller, hand towel size pestemal is traditionally called "peskir". Given its properties, the pestemal makes a great spa or sauna towel. The pestemal can also be used as a hand towel at home. The fast drying pestemal feature helps prevent mildew that commonly occurs in bathrooms with less air circulation. Additionally, the pestemal folds easily and takes up less space in your closet. The pestemal adds a subtle boho, ethnic look to your home. The Kuprum Pestemal has fashionable tassels and elegant, traditional pestemal weaving patterns. This Pestemal is created by the Kuprum brand, inspired by Mediterranean culture, artisanship and practicality. 0
