A peshtemal or long (also spelled peshtamal, pestamal or pestemal; from Persian1~ Fa puştmāl پشت مال back towel § Fa puşt پشت back + Fa māl مال cleaning) is a traditional towel used in baths.

A staple of Persian and Ottoman hammam culture, dating back hundreds of years, the pestemal was originally designed to help individual bathers maintain their privacy.

In addition to being highly absorbent, pestemals dry faster than thicker towels.

A hammam towel
It is also used to indicate which region people are from. There are many kinds of peshtemal, with different styles and colors in different areas of Turkey.

The peshtemal absorbs water as fast as a terrycloth towel, dries more quickly, takes up less space, is easy to carry and is therefore used as an alternative in bathrooms, pools, spas, beaches, sports facilities, and for baby care.

The peshtemal fabric is made of 100% cotton produced on manually operated looms in modern Turkey, historically in Antioch.

WHAT IS A TURKISH PESTEMAL TOWEL?

A staple of the Ottoman hamam culture, dating back hundreds of years, the pestemal was originally designed to help individual bathers maintain their privacy.

Today, this light weight garment lends itself perfectly to quotidian use. In addition to being a wonderful bath towel due to its high absorbancy, the pestemal dries faster than its thicker counterparts.

Combined with its compact nature, this makes pestemal an ideal accessory for the beach, spa, gym, sauna, or beauty parlor.

Thanks to the vibrant color scheme of QuiQuattro’s pestemals that are soft to the touch, many of our clients also use them for drier occasions as every day scarves or decorative throws.
