ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
These Classic Turkish Hand Towels bring centuries of traditional craftsmanship to your everyday rituals. Handwoven by skilled artisans in small family workshops using extra-long Turkish cotton fibers, each towel features the lightweight yet highly absorbent qualities that have made Turkish textiles legendary. The hand-knotted fringe adds an authentic finishing touch that speaks to generations of weaving tradition.
What makes these towels special is their unique ability to dry faster than traditional terry cloth while becoming softer and more luxurious with each wash. The tightly woven natural fibers create a perfect balance of quick-drying efficiency and superior absorption, making them ideal for both kitchen tasks and bathroom use.
Available in six timeless colors, these towels transform practical moments into mindful experiences. Each piece carries subtle variations from the handcrafting process, ensuring your towel is truly one of a kind while supporting traditional weaving communities in Turkey.

SLATE + SALT was founded by Lyndsay, an avid traveler who felt the need to share her stories and finds with the world. Through extensive travel to developing countries, she fell in love with the people, the cultures and the craftsmanship of pieces that apply traditional techniques to modern designs. She recognized the beauty of traditional craftsmanship over goods mass produced in factories, and saw a chance to give artisans in rural villages a worldwide customer base.
Through frequent trips and partnerships with Fair Trade cooperatives, Lyndsay fosters relationships that bring ever changing designs to globally minded nomads. SLATE + SALT says it works closely with small social enterprises to create dignified work in areas of extreme poverty, helping rural artisans support their families and stay in their own communities.
The company's mission is to share modern, one of a kind pieces while preserving traditional techniques. SLATE + SALT says its pieces are handmade and hand dyed, so each one is special and slight variations occur.
