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.
