Girit Cotton Linen Towel Set

A set of full-size Girit peshtemals, sold in twos through sevens so you can furnish a whole bathroom, kit out a guest house, or build a gift without buying towel by towel. Every towel is the 37'' x 73'' bath and beach size — one towel that covers bathroom, pool and beach duty.

How people use the sets

• Set of 2 — a couple's bathroom, or one each for a weekend away.
• Set of 3–4 — a family bathroom, with spares in rotation while others dry.
• Set of 5–7 — guest houses, rentals and beach houses, where towels need to be handed out and washed in batches.

Why it works as a gift

Turkish towels are one of the few household gifts that suit almost any occasion — weddings, housewarmings, new babies, retirements — because they are useful without being personal, and they do not need a size. The flat weave folds into a neat, giftable stack, and the larger sets arrive as a considered present rather than a single item.

Care

Wash before first use. Cool wash, low tumble dry, no bleach and no fabric softener — softener coats the fibres and reduces the absorbency that makes these towels worth owning. They soften and become more absorbent over the first several washes rather than wearing thin.
