Large enough to cover your body with its long and rich history, this type of towel originates in Turkey and was used in bath houses of Ancient Rome.
Rooted deeply in Middle Eastern tradition, hammam is a steam bath experience offering rituals of cleansing and relaxing.
Designed for hot and humid conditions, hammam towels absorb moisture and dry fast.
This type of towel is extra light - our Arlette hammam throw weighs 300g and takes no more space than a folded t-shirt so it can be rolled and put in a picnic or beach basket or in a suitcase with no effort at all.
It is flat-woven without the conventional loop or pile construction so does not shed and doesn't trap nasty allergens. It is easy to wash and care for.
Addition of linen makes our throw even more special as linen absorbs moisture extremely quickly. On top of this, linen keeps you cool when it's hot so it is perfect for warm summer days and balmy evenings.
We will not mention that it is sustainable and eco-friendly!
It's a perfect holiday piece to take with you without worrying about excess baggage. It's versatile and can be used as:
-
a summer throw
-
a picnic blanket
-
a travel blanket on a plane
-
a boho tablecloth
-
a shawl that you can wrap around your shoulders
-
a SPA/gym/pool towel
Possibilities are endless so make our lovely Arlette throw a top of your packing list this summer!
