MATERIAL
Each Turquoise Istanbul towel is made from the highest quality Turkish GOTS certified organic cotton, which makes our towels natural, eco-friendly, and healthy. Traditional weaving makes our towels long-lasting with excellent absorbency and plushness. All dyes are also organic, every product is un-treated, non-coated, and chemical-free.
WEAVING ART
Turquoise Istanbul supports traditional craftsmanship. Our treasured old-shuttled looms have been passed down from generation to generation, with the oldest one being over 100-years-old. Traditional methods are applied to the entire process including the most magnificent hand-tied fringing and tassels, some of which can take hours to complete.
TOWEL CARE
Before initial use, we recommend soaking towels in cold water overnight and hang to drip dry. This step allows the cotton to bloom and begin to reach its maximum absorbency. Washing machine 40°. Tumble dry medium or hang to drip dry. Do not over-dry. No bleach or fabric softener. If threads are snagged and pulled out, simply cut the thread off. This will not damage the piece.
