Helen Bednarz: It’s a towel, but honestly it’s so nice I have worn it as a scarf or shawl. Tight weave makes it pretty much sand proof and it washed and dried well. I’ I’ll probably buy more

littlechief: I bought the black color as well as the pink and for some reason the pink is better and it doesn’t have as much lint, but I do like these towels

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: You need a towel? Check.
A blanket for the airplane? Check.
You need shade? Check.
Need to cover your head visiting a church? Check.

This was the best purchase I have made for traveling. I recently went to Turkey and this towel was everything to me. All of the above were some ways that I used it for and more! I highly recommend it.

Shelly Breault: This is the look I was wanting, beware they are not 'thick and plush' towels but look good on the hooks and are good for drying off hands

Mike Vergeer: This is just what I was looking for. A soft compact towel that dries quick, it soft and can be used as a towel or a blanket. Beautiful design. Would recommend.

Wet CoastWet Coast: I recently purchased 10 Turkish towels (from Amazon and others) and this one didn't pass the test.
As with the other towels, I soaked them all overnight in cold water, washed with white vinegar added to wash cycle and dried on ultra low heat setting. I washed each towel 4 times before use.

This is not a towel.
It pushes the water around much like a polyester tablecloth would.
In other words, it is NOT ABSORBENT AT ALL - and only somewhat soft.
I was hesitant to order it as it looked like a different weave than the others and, as it turns out, doesn't perform as a towel should.
And it has a loose fringe where every other Turkish towel has a hand-tied fringe along with instruction in how to re-tie them should they become untied.
I will likely use it as a lap/blanket, shawl/scarf, tablecloth, throw blanket.

I did some research on Turkish towels before ordering and this just slipped through the cracks. (because I liked this design).
I have found that in order to be an authentic Turkish towel it should be:
- 100 % Turkish Cotton
- Hand tied fringe
- Made in Turkey
- Normally woven in a herringbone or diamond weave (see photo - this one on...

Old Alice: I've been binging on Peshtemal towels lately, and I've ordered 6 in the last month from all different brands, so I have plenty to compare with. The blue striped towel I bought is BY FAR the thinnest fabric of them all. It is THINNER than a linen T-shirt, which is see through (this is also see through holding it up to any light). The color in the photo is much richer than the actual towel, which while accurate in shades, are not as vibrant. This could be related to the thinness.

The bag is cute, so I'm giving it 3 stars because my other towels did not come with a bag, so that's a value added. The thinness may be an advantage if you want the smallest possible peshtemal-sized bath sheet to travel with. Obviously, the thicker the material, the larger the space needed in your luggage. It would make a good scarf/shawl/light wrap/coverup as well, so some people may be really pleased with it. While I definitely see advantages for some people needing to travel light and wanting the thinnest possible large towel sheet or super lightweight beach 'blanket', it's not really capable of absorbing enough water to be used as an after shower towel for most people.
