Turkish towels, known as 'Pestemals', have been an integral part of Mediterranean culture for centuries. At GREYMINT, we take pride in preserving this ancient craft by offering authentic Pestemals that are both practical and luxurious.
Pestemals date back to the Ottoman Empire, where they were traditionally used in Turkish baths, known as hammams. These towels are celebrated for their lightweight, ultra-absorbent, and quick-drying qualities, making them ideal for various uses, from the beach to the spa.
Our Turkish towels are woven by skilled artisans in Turkey, preserving age-old techniques that have been passed down through generations. By sourcing our materials directly from the Mediterranean, we support regional economies and reduce our carbon footprint. Each Pestemal is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a high-quality product that embodies the rich heritage of Turkish textiles.
Working with real artisans is both rewarding and challenging. Many of our artisans bring decades of experience and tradition to their craft. These relationships are built on trust and mutual respect, ensuring fair trade practices and wages that honor their invaluable skills. Although the work can be uncertain and difficult, the authenticity and quality of our products reflect the dedication and expertise of these master weavers.
The lightweight and versatile nature of Pestemals makes them perfect for summer traveling. They are easy to pack and can be taken anywhere. Use them on top of your yoga mat for a comfortable workout, or wrap them like a pareo over your bikini for a beach look. Their quick-drying properties make them ideal for use at the beach, gym, or pool.
Experience the timeless appeal of GREYMINT Turkish towels, where tradition meets modernity in every thread.
