What is a Pestemal? (also known as a Hammam or Fouta) A pestemal (pesh-te-mul) is a Turkish word for a flat woven fabric that is traditionally used in the hammam (or Turkish Bath) as a towel. It is used to cover the body as well as dry. Pestemals or turkish towels have so many uses. They are perfect for the beach, pool or bath, as they dry very quickly and are made from very absorbent cotton. This ombre Turkish towel is part of our Antibes Collection, inspired by the festive beach towns of the French Riviera.
