Classic Turkish Hand Towel — 36” × 22” | SLATE + SALT

A hand towel in 100% OEKO-TEX certified Turkish cotton, handwoven in the Denizli region of Turkey in a classic solid weave with hand-knotted tassel fringe. 36” × 22” (91.4 × 55.9cm). Available in five colors: Black, Beige, Navy, Wine, and Cobalt. Machine washable. By SLATE + SALT.

How It Improves Your Daily Life

The Classic Turkish Hand Towel is wider than a standard hand towel — at 22 inches across, it covers more surface and dries hands more thoroughly in a single pass. The solid weave in five distinct colors means it works as a color accent in a bathroom or kitchen without requiring a pattern to do the work: Navy and Cobalt read as coastal, Wine as warm and rich, Beige as neutral and versatile, Black as graphic and minimal. Turkish cotton at this weave weight is highly absorbent and dries faster than conventional terry — which means it stays fresher between washes. It also becomes softer with each wash rather than rougher. A daily-use object that improves over time and earns its place on the hook.

The Craft — Denizli, Turkey

Turkish towels — also known as peshtamels or hammam towels — have been hand-loomed in the Denizli region of Turkey for centuries, originally produced for the hammam, the traditional Turkish bath. The extra-long, tightly woven cotton fibers that define hammam textiles produce a fabric that is lightweight, highly absorbent, and quick-drying. This towel is produced by small, family-owned workshops in Denizli. Only OEKO-TEX certified natural fibers are used — no harmful dyes, no synthetic blends. The tassels are hand-knotted by women working from their homes. Slight variations in weave density and color depth are inherent to the handmade process — each towel is one of a kind.

How to Use It
