It is the perfect blend of ancient artisan craft and contemporary performance.

Why You’ll Love the Skylark+Owl Turkish Towel

True luxury should make your life easier, not more complicated. Our Peshtemal towels provide a spa-like experience right in your own home, focusing on the tactile and functional benefits that matter most to you:

• Softness That Grows with You: Crafted from 100% premium Turkish cotton, these towels feature long-staple fibres that become softer and bloom more after each wash. While traditional towels can become scratchy over time, your Peshtemal only gets better.

• Dry Off in a Flash: Our innovative technology creates micro-air holes in the yarn. This means you get a remarkably breathable fabric that dries significantly faster than traditional heavy linens, making it ideal for humid bathrooms or quick-paced travel.

• A Healthy Home Environment: Because they dry so quickly, our towels stay fresher for longer and resist that damp towel smell. Plus, they are hypoallergenic and OEKO-TEX® certified, ensuring they are free from harmful chemicals and safe for sensitive skin.

• Eco-Friendly Peace of Mind: We are committed to the planet. By following the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), we use less water and fewer chemicals in production, so you can enjoy luxury with a clear conscience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Peshtemal towel, and how is it different from a regular towel? 

A Peshtemal towel (often called a Turkish towel) is a flat-woven towel traditionally used in Turkish baths. Unlike shaggy terry cloth towels, Peshtemals are thinner, lighter, and more absorbent. They dry much faster and become softer with every wash, whereas regular towels tend to degrade over time.

Are these towels actually absorbent since they are so thin? 

Absolutely. Because they are crafted from 100% long-staple Turkish cotton, they are designed to wick moisture away from the skin instantly. The Air-Space yarn technology increases the surface area for water absorption while allowing the fabric to remain lightweight.

How do I care for my Turkish Peshtemal towel? 

To keep your towels blooming, machine wash them in cold or warm water with similar colours. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce absorbency. Tumble dry on low heat or hang them up, they’ll be dry in no time.

Can I use a Peshtemal towel for things other than bathing? 

Yes, absolutely you can. Their versatility is their best feature. Our customers use them as beach wraps, gym towels, lightweight travel blankets, tablecloths, and even scarves. Their compact nature makes them the ultimate travel companion.
