Set of 4 Diamond Weave Turkish Cotton Bath Beach Hammam Peshtemal Towels & Fouta Blankets by BOSPHORUS

Chris F: I love everything about these towels except the lint. The towels have been washed and dried 6 times now and there is still quite a bit of lint that comes off these towels. They are beautiful and absorbent enough. I expect the lint to diminish at some point. Fingers crossed!

Adris: These will appeal to those who don't want a thick towel such as in the summertime....they do absorb very well. These are also great for the beach as the no-terry won't catch sand. These are about the thickness of a (non-terry) kitchen towel

Holly Asmussen: These are very nice towels, but had to wash them a few times before using because of all the fuzzing they leave behind.

Amazon Customer: Soft, quick to dry, comfortable. Takes up SO much less room in the washing machine (why I wanted to try these) which saves us utility money! So fast to dry (they recommend hang drying but I put them in the dryer). Love them, probably ordering a second batch. Highly recommend. Would be a great house warming gift as well!

Shayne P: I want to like this. It is highly absorbent. So it works very well as a towel. However it’s been a couple months now, and it still pills when I use it.

Many washes and used daily, the pilling never stops with any of the towels. When I go to cream, all I see is a bunch of black pieces of the towel on my skin. Very unfortunate.
My first Turkish towel so I’m not sure if that’s a trait or if it’s just this one. I’ll try another Turkish towel and see it it’s better.

Ingmar B: I love the look and how fast they dry after use or after washing them. I was so pedantic about washing them the correct way as I really want these to last so I’ve been super gentle with them HOWEVER, it’s been 3 months now and they are still producing crazy amounts of lint. I don’t know if this is just one of those things I’ll have to live with or if I could do something better in the washing cycle. Just a heads up if this is something that might bother you too :)

btrina: These towels are beautiful and were perfect for our beach holiday. I was a little worried they would be too thin, but they did an amazing job drying us off and then drying quickly in the sun. The resort gives us thick pool/beach towels, but they don't usually dry completely, even overnight, in the high humidity - these dried out within an hour or so in the sun and no funky odours! Big enough for my 6'6" husband and lots of room to spread out on the beach. Thin enough to roll up compactly and very little weight or room in the back pack to explore other beaches with. I was surprised by how little sand got stuck in them too. I just shook them out before drying and you would never have known they were at the beach. I love the texture and weaving of these towels. Happy I got them, would recommend!

Julie Sands: I am so happy to have some sets of these lovely Turkish/Peshtamel towels. It means a lot to me. My spouse and I needed bath towels for years. The first set of towels that we received as a Christmas gift shortly after we were married we had for around 20 years. We were grateful for them but had not picked them out and they were not something I nor he would have picked out for ourselves. They were not Turkish towels, had a rough feel, and their color faded just a few years after we first got them. They eventually started tearing. A bit after they did, some years back I bought my spouse and I two sets of towels. They still really were not what I was looking for but I was unable to find a style that really wowed me where I was shopping back then. We still have a few towels from one of those sets, a white cotton one that will not wear out. I often use those towels when I give myself a manicure/pedicure. They are great for that. However, they are rough feeling to me, and very thick. Since I know how special textiles are, and have heard it can be a tedious job to make towels, I am not the type to buy a new set of towels every few years because of this. So, I refused to buy another set of...

Terry in SA: I purchased 20 of these Diamond Weave Turkish Cotton Towels for an upcoming family trip and I'm extremely pleased with them.

First of all, you need to understand that these are NOT terry cloth. They are a fairly loose weave cotton that is more like a tea towel. And like a tea towel, they aren't absorbent when brand new. You need to wash and dry them 3-4 times for them to soften and thicken and become absorbent. (Don't use any kind of fabric softener on these (or any towels) as that actually decreases absorbency over time.)

There are different weaves when it comes to this type of towel and the diamond weave is one of the thickest and most absorbent. The white stripes are woven in, not printed, and the diamond weave carries throughout the towel. This matters because some Turkish towels like this have diamond weaving in the body but the stripes are plain weave. This can cause distortion after washing as the diamond weave shrinks and thickens more than the plain weave. There is no such distortion with these towels after washing.

Although they are thin compared to terry cloth towels, it's surprising how absorbent they are. They work really well for drying off...
