Titus Santuklu Hand Towel - Turkish Cotton

Two siblings, Emre and Sule, founded Eastern Woven in 2017 out of a shared passion for traditional textile crafts. Their towels are designed with inspiration from the Aegean and the Mediterranean and woven by local weavers.

Alongside the towels, Eastern Woven offers what it describes as suzani fabrics handcrafted with the same method for centuries and completely handmade yemenis. To prioritize sustainability, as the company puts it, Eastern Woven uses the best quality cotton, linen, silk and leather, so every piece is long lasting.

Every piece is produced in accordance with ethical values, which Eastern Woven describes as a stand against the speed and order of the world today.
