ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This versatile Turkish towel draws inspiration from ancient Mexican ruins and coastal beauty, featuring hand-knotted tassels that give each piece its unique character. Crafted from a thoughtful blend of recycled and natural cotton, this lightweight textile serves as both towel and blanket throughout the seasons.
The artisan weaves each piece on traditional looms, then hand-finishes with care using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. Ultra soft yet absorbent, this compact design weighs just 0.7 pounds while offering generous coverage at 71 x 39 inches.
Perfect for conscious consumers seeking sustainable alternatives, this piece transforms cotton waste into something beautiful while keeping traditional Turkish craftsmanship alive. Whether at the beach, in your living space, or during travel, it brings intentional comfort to everyday moments.

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.
