In the Turkish hammam, people have wrapped themselves in the peştemal for centuries — a flat-woven cloth, lighter and faster-drying than any terry towel. These are the towels Ottomania weaves: thin, soft, surprisingly absorbent, and lovelier with every wash. As a bath towel, at the beach, as a throw, a tablecloth, or a scarf — one piece that does many things and takes up almost no space. Turkish tradition, for everyday life today.
