What’s your favorite kind of towel? 

We use our Turkish Pestemal towels. Hand-woven by traditional methods, using 100 percent Turkish cotton, and dyed with vegetable dyes, the pestemal is famous for its absorbency and softness. We also love using it as a tablecloth, a picnic blanket, a light throw, or even a beautiful shawl. They’re so versatile.
