Turkish towels
Hamam towels from LEVANO
The traditional hammam towel, also known as a pestemal, originated from Turkish bathing culture. It has been used in classic bathhouses for centuries. Our towels combine this rich history with modern design. They are made from high-quality natural fibers and feature a distinctive texture that makes them particularly skin-friendly for you.
In contrast to mass-produced goods, our hammam towels are traditionally handmade on looms. This intricate weaving technique creates a particularly dense yet airy fabric. Each hand-woven towel is a unique piece for you. This method of production guarantees you the highest quality and supports the preservation of valuable, traditional craftsmanship.
A high-quality pestemal absorbs moisture just as well as a terry towel, but dries many times faster. The fine, hand-woven cotton fabric allows for optimal air circulation. This prevents unpleasant odors, and after bathing or showering, you'll have a wonderfully dry towel ready for you in no time.
If you love to travel, you'll love the hammam towel. Thanks to its fine structure, it can be folded up to save a lot of space and fits easily into any backpack. It's also incredibly lightweight. Whether as a beach towel by the sea or at the lido, as a blanket on a plane or while backpacking – your pestemal is always with you.
Hammam towels are true all-rounders and much more than just ordinary bath towels. Use your towel as an elegant sauna towel, a practical yoga mat, or a stylish everyday accessory. It also cuts a fine figure as a throw for furniture, a picnic blanket in the park, or as a fashionable cape on cool Swiss summer evenings.
Caring for your Hammam towel is wonderfully straightforward. Simply machine wash it at 30 to 40 degrees, and avoid using fabric softener. The special thing about hand-woven cotton is that with each wash cycle, the fibers become noticeably softer and more absorbent. This way, you'll benefit from a thoroughly durable product for many years to come.
