About the Ciragan Turkish Towel — Sizes, Uses & Care ▾
The Ciragan is a peshtemal: a flat-woven Turkish towel in undyed cotton and linen, finished with hand-knotted fringe. Its stripe is tonal rather than printed, so it reads as texture — which is why the same towel works folded on a bathroom shelf, thrown over a sun lounger, or spread on the sand.
A flat-woven towel for bath, beach and travel
Ciragan has a flat fabric surface rather than the raised loops of a terry towel. Choose it if you prefer a towel that folds flat and can double as a beach wrap. Its undyed oatmeal color and tonal stripe suit a neutral bathroom or a simple beach setup.
Drying time depends on the towel size, airflow and humidity. For a closer comparison of texture and everyday use, see our peshtemal vs terry towel guide.
Choosing your size
- Hand 17'' x 30'' — bathroom rail, kitchen, or hair wrap.
- Bath/Beach 37'' x 73'' — the standard size. A full bath sheet for one, and long enough to cover a sun lounger.
- Oversized 63'' x 79'' — wide enough for two on the sand, or a bed runner and sofa throw at home.
- Bath & Hand Set — the bath/beach towel and hand towel together. The no-tassel option is separate; check the selected variant before ordering.
Living with it
Wash once before first use to set the weave and release loose fibres. Skip fabric softener — it coats cotton and linen and works against absorbency, which is the whole point of a peshtemal. Shake the fringe out while damp and it dries straight; comb it with your fingers if it tangles in the wash.
Woven on traditional looms in Antioch, Turkey — a region weaving peshtemals for generations.
