A Real Turkish Towel: Sand-free, light & durable, stylish and always made of 100% Premium Turkish Cotton

Why feel weighed down by bulky, musty terry towels when you can have equally absorbent, lightweight and quick-drying towels?

First of all, let's correct a common misunderstanding: high absorbency comes down to the quality of cotton, not necessarily the thickness of your towel. This is why every Laodis Peshtemal Towel is made of premium long-staple Turkish cotton which makes them highly absorbent. Crafting our towels from highly absorbent cotton is how we're able to achieve a lightweight and quick-drying towel, freeing up much needed storage space at home and finally allowing you to feel lighter and freer during your travels!

The carefully crafted tight flat-weave texture of Laodis Peshtemal Towels means sand and dirt fall right off, unlike your old terry beach towels. Featuring a traditional and subtle design, these outstanding towels are also pre-washed to offer softness to your skin while indulging your senses...

For those who aspire to live a clutter free, simple and tasteful life, it's time to lighten up this summer and embrace a lighter you!

Lightweight & Compact

Laodis Turkish towels are as light as a feather! Forget that extra bag you used to pack your oversized, bulky towels before a long trip, beach getaway, camping or family holiday. Laodis Peshtemals are very compact and light so you can easily pack them together with your other items. This towel folds up into the size of a small water bottle- it takes up very little space in your bag. Not to mention that it also takes up less space in your washing machine, making it a sustainable option, as it requires a significantly less amount of water and energy in the washer/dryer. Even better, you can skip the dryer completely and just hang it to dry.

Silky Soft

Every Laodis Peshtemal towel is pre-washed before it gets to you so that you can experience its silky softness and never have to worry about major shrinkage after each wash. In fact, you'll be pleasantly surprised that every wash will result in an even softer and more absorbent towel as the cotton fibers expand and gain volume.

Highly Absorbent

Despite its lightness, Laodis Towels absorb water very quickly. It is no secret that Turkish cotton is one of the best quality cottons in the world due to its long- staple structure. This enables Laodis towels to be able to hold a lot of moisture despite being thin towels. Though don't let the thickness of the towel fool you as the optimized weaving techniques obtained by hundreds of years of knowledge and experience ensure that Laodis Peshtemal towels are strong and made to last for years.

Quick-Drying

Exactly what you should expect from a good towel! One of the best ways Laodis Turkish Towels are distinguished from standard terry towels is that they dry within a very short amount of time and never develop a musty smell. This is why they make the best travel companion as you can use them multiple times a day, unlike regular towels which take forever to dry. You can be out of the ocean drying off one minute and use the towel as a beach cover the next! You will love how handy and versatile this towel can be as you discover the various ways you can use it.
