SMYRNA TURKISH COTTON Vintage Series Turkish Beach Towel Oversized, 37x71 inch, Extra Large Quick Dry Sand Free Beach Blanket, Lightweight Cotton Pool, Spa, Travel, Gym, Adult Bath Towel, Purple

Within the last few years, I had been introduced to Turkish Cotton. Friends who had spend time there, returned with very favorable remarks. I must caveat with we have been towel snobs. My husband loves a very thick, plush, large, 100% cotton bath towel, so for us to try out the much thinner turkish towel was a big gamble. I began with kitchen dish towels. (a safe introduction). I LOVE them. Beautiful colors, thin. Very effective. So, on to the bathroom hand towels. Once again, LOVE! Instantly I moved to the 'beach' towel to use as a large bath towel. (Not willing to give up the luxurious feeling size)This towel is my absolute favorite. The color was perfect and as described. The quality is impeccable. I love how wonderfully it works. And I must admit, I now prefer the thinner material to the large, plush towel. It is soft and absorbent. They wash well.I wash with natural cleaners and hang dry to preserve my clothes and linens and expect to use and love this towel for years to come.The company was also very professional as we did have one interaction. I would definitely purchase from them again.

I purchased this for a beach trip. The towel was beautiful and well designed.

Lovely color and hand. Highly absorbent and dries fairly quick - you may want to keep two out if you’re stocking a high-traffic washroom.Warning: The weave is *just* loose enough to snag on protruding jewelry (basket settings and stones and metal flourishes etc) or cat claws, so keep that in mind. If you wear a lot of jewelry you might want to stick with a solid or tighter twill.

I always thought that I preferred the giant fluffy/soft bath towels. Until I traveled to Germany and experienced a whole different type of towel. Initially I was kinda pissed that they gave me this towel that seemed more like a sheet than a towel. That is, until I used it. I immediately noticed how quickly it absorbed the water on my body. Soft seemed kind of irrelevant. And I didn’t have to work at drying myself. You just kinda wrap it around you and it just wicks the water away. Ever since then, I’ve been searching for such towels.I’ve grown to immensely dislike the soft fluffy towels that just sorta move the water around on you.These towels are not the ones I experienced in Germany, but have come the closest to them. They are thin and lightweight. They dry me pretty efficiently and they dry out quickly. (No more mildewy towel hanging in my bathroom)They are not the highest of quality. Some if the threads are kinda undone. Not sure I love the tassels. But they are pretty and they are much more to my liking than any of the normal both towels I have used over the decades.

Bath sized towel was beautiful, no complaints, 5 stars for everything--even softness, b/c Turkish towels aren't really "soft", especially when new. Beautiful colors, generous size, nice looking and strong, durable weave pattern. I would buy a couple more if it was in my budget. As it was, I was hesitant to spend $ on something I didn't "need" (i have a few really old towels), but I am glad I bought the two that I did.Am Going to paste my review below for the "matching" hand towels, because the quality was a bit lower, if I hadn't washed them, I probably would returned 1 of the 2 packs I bought."color was nice, product as advertised. However, even for an expected-to-be-thin Turkish towel, the texture and quality was just flimsy. I'm thinking the herringbone weave makes a difference..but also there are seams on the sides which draw up a little and make it look like a cheap product from China. I have only washed/hung them (no dryer) and have not yet used them, so can't comment on absorbency, but being 100% cotton, I am sure they will absorb enough for hand washing. The bath towels, on the other hand, were great! Same color/brand, Smyrna Turquoise, but weave was (diamond?) and much sturdier, without the weirdly rolling seams along the sides. I can't say the hand towels are terrible--they are adequate--but compared to the bath sized towels, they are strangely cheap looking It seems like they'd be similar quality/consistency.

Beautiful looking, grey and cream towel/blanket did not disappoint. My daughter and her husband will likely purchase these before their next trip. May add more myself, even though I’m not much of a traveler. I like the feel of the soft texture and the fact that it dries quickly and resists sand.

I bought this for myself and one in a different colorway for my daughter before a trip. Honestly, I thought that I would love this towel. It's ok, it's easier to pack and tote than a typical beach towel. And it looks nice. But the fabric was kind of scratchy. Oddly, the style that I bought my daughter, from the same company, is much softer than mine. Mine has sort of off white border, hers has a regular white border, so perhaps it is the cotton used (bleached vs not?) But she complained that hers got wet really fast. Likewise, they do dry really fast, so that is a plus. Maybe with time it will become more absorbent.

We love these towels for the bath and the recreation. My youngest children love them because they can be rolled in them (like a burrito) - they are quite large. I love them, because I am a chubby older lady and they are big enough for me too. Regular size bath towels do not fully cover me. They also come in a variety of colors. Everyone gets their own color in our family. I also like that they are thin and you can fit more in your beach bag (large family here) - We took them to the water park. pools, and beach. At the same time they are absorbent too. They dry faster it seems than terry cloth towels and feel more absorbent than microfiber towels. They come very attractively rolled up too. They look good as a gift. I would recommend these towels to my friends and family.

Wow. Love these. I bought three different colors. So beautiful and very large. Great to wrap around body.

mejor de lo que esperaba

Thank you for my gorgeous towel it's really good quality and beautiful colour. I bought 2 small hand towels a few months ago and I was happy with them, so decided to order a large bath sheet for my holiday. I LOVE it 💖

I love this towel... we dont use it often as a towel though as I found I really do prefer terry towelling.. It makes a lovely throw for my couch and I have been washing it often so that when my son wants to squeeze a small towel in his bag for the pool.. this one fits very well. It gets better with more washing, not very absorbant in the beginning as you'd expect of most new towels. Very well made, love it!

Me gusto mucho, es bonita como para ir a la playa y no ocupa espacio
