ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This versatile Turkish towel draws inspiration from the ancient ruins of Coba and the Atlantic coast, featuring hand-knotted tassels that add an artisan touch. Crafted from 50% recycled cotton and 50% natural cotton, it transforms textile waste into something beautiful through thoughtful upcycling processes.
The maker weaves each towel on traditional looms before finishing by hand, keeping ancient Turkish textile traditions alive. Ultra soft yet absorbent, lightweight yet durable, this piece works equally well as a beach companion or home accent.
At 71 x 39 inches and weighing just 0.7 pounds, it folds compact for travel while providing generous coverage. The conscious choice for those who value both function and sustainability in their everyday essentials.

In Santiago de Chile, Eco Hilana was founded in 2018 with one clear goal: to make daily life better. From the start, its team has focused on unique products, always valuing design, quality and noble materials, and reviewing every detail until the final piece is finished.
Eco Hilana is committed to using recycled cotton, and it sees opportunity in a serious problem, textile waste. Every day, bales of cotton waste arrive at its factory in Turkey, where the pieces are sorted by color, crushed and blended with virgin cotton to become a new, reconstituted thread that is strong and durable.
That thread becomes soft, beautiful towels, spa robes, ponchos and more. The company says that over three years it upcycled more than 5 tons of cotton waste, and it wants to make beautiful things that inspire a way of living built on reusing and recycling cotton.
