Description

These gorgeous heavy-weight Turkish towels are made from high-grade Turkish cotton and handwoven on traditional 100-year old shuttle looms in historic Turkey.

Sustainably made in small batches, this towel releases a beautiful plush texture one laundered, while becoming softer and more absorbent with every wash.

This incredible collection is especially soft and plush, feeling great against the skin. Softer and more absorbent with every wash, these textiles were made to function as towels but are effortlessly used in so many other ways. Wear it as a shawl, throw it on your couch for some texture, use it as a blanket or spread it as a tablecloth.

Featuring a Japanese-inspired aged denim colorway with charcoal and cream contrast stripes, our handwoven Filiz Robe is the perfect balance of style and comfort. A mid-weight, transitional piece, this incredible garment offers warmth in the cooler months while also being breathable in warmer climates.

Mid-weave is a perfect bath towel, blanket or shawl to keep you warm on a chilly day.

Limited Edition Filiz Handwoven Towel

Bath Towel (Single) – Change

So thin...and so disappointed

I wanted to love these towels. They are listed as a mid-weight towel but are extremely thin. They do seem to absorb well and dry quickly but are not cozy at all and I am freezing and miserable after every shower. The other thing that I dislike is that despite being such a thin fabric and after 4-5 washes (and a several hour presoak prior to the first wash) they leave small bits of blue fabric fuzz on my skin when drying off. My husband refuses to use them and I pretend to like them since I spent so much money for them. Hopefully the linty fuzz will eventually go away and maybe the thin material will be okay during the summer time or for the extremely rare occasions we go to a pool.
I do love the mosaic blanket I purchased...although sad that they have a larger size now and wish I would have waited for that. I got the Aksam hand towels (and would have gotten the bath towels but were and have been out of stock for months) and I much prefer this towel and while it is also thinner material it is definitely thicker and much softer than the Filiz and I have not noticed the fuzz transfer (although I use this for my hair)

Hi Laura,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review! We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue with your Filiz towels!

All of our textiles are woven from high quality unprocessed cottons and linens and therefore require a small period of ‘breaking in’ to reveal their truest nature.

We opt to use these unprocessed fibers, as they increase the lifespan of the textile and ensure that the towel can and will serve you well for decades. This ‘breaking in’ process requires a nice soak (for optimal results, include a natural fabric softener) in cold water for 4-6 hours, followed by a wash and dry cycle. This soaking process allows for the threads to fully hydrate and plump and in turn, increases the absorbency of the towel. Usually this ‘breaking in’ process will take about 4-5 washes until it releases its consistent texture and hand.

Even though drier usage sometimes results in a little but of shrinkage, it also helps to speed up the softening process while also working to eliminate shedding much faster and stripping the fibers down so they are naturally bare and thirsty. Once the initial ‘breaking in’ is complete, the towels will get better and better with time and use and will continually increase in both softness and absorbency.

We hope this was helpful and will assist you in better enjoying your towels. While Turkish towels are designed to be thin, once they are broken in they become womderfully absorbent and soft while maintaining their quick drying breathability that will ultimately serve to allow your towels and even longer lifespan! We'll reach out to check in and ensure you're getting the most use out of your towels!

Thank you again for your continued support of our small business and we look forward to assisting you with this as soon as possible!

Large towels. Fabric sturdy and I hope gets more absorbent over time. Multi purpose. Good product.

You can find these care instructions available on our website. Many Turkish towels available on the market nowadays are factory made using processed fibers, and even including polyester to obtain a luxury drape and initial softness from the get go. However, these factory-made towels tend to last for a fraction of the amount of time our towels.

As always, Please don't hesitate to reach out should you ever have any further questions or concerns, we are always happy to help!

Vibrant

I purchased this as a gift for my sweetie, to be given in a few months time. It's a beautiful towel with vibrant blue striping. It really makes a statement. I purchased the Tansu and Madewell Towels for myself and have been using them with pleasure. I definitely recommend following the advice to presoak the towels, this leads to a soft and absorbent drying-off experience. These towels are very large, so be aware they won't fit neatly on a standard towel bar unless they are folded.

Soft, absorbent, wonderful.

Can't say enough good things about these Turkish towels. They are clearly lovingly crafted and thoughtfully packaged, the towels themselves are huge and beautiful. I followed the directions for a pre-soak and these towels are amazing - thin but super absorbent and quick drying, and so much comfier than your standard towels.
