FAQs

Are they really absorbent?
They are. Even the thinnest linen can hold up to 20 times its weight in water, and dries much more quickly than a terry cloth towel. Our Peshtemal towels are made of a blend of Bamboo and Cotton or 100% Cotton. They are highly absorbent. Both our Linen or Turkish towels dry much faster than a traditional terry cloth towel.

They are. We select the softest European linens and Peshtemals, woven especially for this quality. Also, each wash will make your Deck Towel softer and softer.
