Our Cape Turkish towel, also known as a pestemal, is handwoven by skilled artisans from premium quality ethically sourced cotton. Each piece is crafted using ancient weaving techniques that have been passed down for generations. Lightweight, beautifully soft, and highly absorbent, our towels are perfect for use after a shower, at the beach, as a sarong, and so much more. 

• 100% Ethically Sourced Turkish Cotton
• Care: Wash twice before use to soften and increase absorbency. Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low or line dry.
• Measures: 35” x 70”

*Please note: Due to the handmade nature of Home & Loft, each piece will have its own unique flair. Small changes may occur, such as variations is color, texture, weight, tassels, and size.

From the maker:

Having grown up in Turkey (and spending considerable amounts of time each year traveling back to her home), our founder, Handan, knows each one of our weavers personally. She works with them to understand their ancient weaving traditions and how she can best support them through the design and sale of Home & Loft’s loungewear and home textiles. 

She makes every effort to help purchase local sustainably sourced cotton, ensure safe and positive working environments, and honor the beautiful culture and traditions of her homeland.

There is absolutely nothing fast about our textiles. Each one is handwoven and tailored by real (amazing) people. Sometimes it takes days to make one piece from start to finish. We order our textiles in small-batches, as they take time to carefully and meaningfully craft. Because at the end of the day, in a predominantly mass made market, we believe that small-batch goods are a more sustainable option for the welfare of our makers and the environment.
