They are known for being hand woven and limited to 3-4 towels per day. The package includes 1 towel with a cabana striped design, and they are available in various colors.

Brief Description: The towels that we use all over the world actually were first woven in modern day Bursa in the 18th century. Weavers invented different techniques for these towels and the towels known as 'havly' at the beginning are now known as 'havlu', which is actually the Turkish word for towels. The specialty and much of the fame of these towels naturally rest on the fact that these towels were hand woven, which limited their manufacturing to 3-4 towels a day. *Package includes 1 Towel, Great for Beach, Pool, Bath, and Spa, Very absorbent and durable, Available in Black, Blue, Navy, Yellow, Green, and Pink Color, Cabana Striped Design. 1) Wash Your Towels Before You Use Them Wash your towels with a cup of white vinegar before using them for the first time. The vinegar will help set the dyes and keep the colors more resilient. Plus, running the towels through a laundry cycle will reduce the shedding that can often be found in new towels. 2) Launder Your Towels Together If you don't want your towels to pill, launder them only with other towels. What is a "pill"? It's when short fabric fibers rub together with the long fibers of bath towels, causing them to bunch and create little nubs on the fabric, or "pills." Over drying can also lead to pills, so keep an eye on your drying time. 3) Wash Towels in Small Laundry Loads Trying to wash and dry too many towels at once can damage your washing machine and interfere with your dryer's ability to dry your towels properly. An overstuffed load of towels in your dryer won't allow enough air circulation to fluff up the fibers. Instead, a too-full load will mat down fibers, causing your towels to come out stiff instead of soft. 4) Avoid Fabric Softener This may seem like a contradiction, but fabric softeners can actually damage your towels. Fabric softeners cause buildup and can mat your fibers down, which causes stiffness and a decrease in absorbency.
