Fouta Towel: Stripey Aqua & Cream

£30.00

ON SALE! 20% OFF. WAS £38, NOW £30

 

Foutas were originally used as Hammam towels in the traditional
Turkish baths and were essential accessories for women during the Ottoman Empire.

 

Today, more than a thousand years later the fouta has even more uses.

It's a luxurious bath towel, it's a shawl, it's a wrap, its a picnic blanket, it's a bed cover, it's a tablecloth; it's almost anything you want it to be.

We like to use ours as scarves when working in our cold office, our friend uses one as a baby blanket...

 

They have exceptional absorbency, dry quickly and fold up small - great for travelling light.

 

These foutas are made of 100% natural cotton, hand woven on 'Métiers à Tisser' (weaving looms) just like the original Hammam towels.

 

They are machine-washable and we recommend washing them twice before use for perfect absorbency and softness.
