The tight weave of this fair trade bath towel makes it absorbent, soft, and remarkably lightweight. The neutral design and natural fringe makes a daily household item a work of art while hung to dry in between use.  Despite its oversized dimensions, the slim cotton towel folds compactly into cupboards and drawers.  Suitable for everyday indoor use or weekend outdoor adventures.

Dries quickly | Folds compactly | Displays beautifully

The "peştemal" or "fouta" style towel is also a versatile powerhouse for travel and adventures whether you are packing minimally for the beach or maximizing space in your suitcase. Those first moments of an afternoon by the water should be free and light, not weighed down with bulk of your beach bag essentials.  Since it dries quickly, you can wrap up with it when the cool breeze comes in.  The neutral tones of black and bone white add to the scenery without distracting from it.
