What is a Turkish towel? 

A Turkish towel is a towel made in Turkey on looms with Turkish cotton. Turkish towels were invented in the 17th century in Bursa, Turkey. They also can be called Turkish peshtemal bath towels, foutas, pestemals, and hammams.

Turkish towels are all the rage these days (just scroll through Instagram and you'll see what I mean). It's no surprise because they do so much more than what a regular towel can do. It's true, it's not just a towel. They're versatile, lightweight, and durable. And, they look super good, no matter how you use them.  At The Bali Market we love that Turkish towels help you live a more minimalist life. We believe minimalism starts with useful and versatile products, and Turkish towels nail both usefulness and versatility. That's just one reason we love Turkish towels.  But you didn't click on...
