It’s amazing to think that these towels have been made the same way as they have been for centuries and look as though they were designed to fit in with our current lifestyles and interiors. Luf’s range of Turkish towels or Peshtemals as they’re also known, are perfect for today’s modern home. To be honest I was intrigued, so Luf Home kindly sent me one to see for myself and to share with you just how beautiful they really are.

I chose one of Luf’s Kas towels in natural as it fitted the aesthetic of our main bathroom perfectly.

Beautifully wrapped with the environment in mind as its all recyclable.

When it comes to towels, we automatically think of towelling and the fluffier the better. Turkish towels (also known as Peshtemals are 100% natural made from cotton handwoven on traditional looms. 

Towels have to be one of the most practical and most used textiles that we have in our homes. So it pays to invest in good quality towels that will stand the test of time and look as good as the day that you bought it. 

Why Consider a Luf Handwoven Turkish Towel

Hey Good Looking…

Luf’s Turkish towels certainly added some much-needed eye candy to our uninspiring bathroom with its colourways as well as the intricate handwoven details

We are so used to thinking of towels in the form of towelling that it can be hard to get your head around using anything else. That is, of course, until you see one for yourself. They are quite simply beautiful to look at and can you honestly say that about a standard towelling towel? There is simply no comparison when it comes to good looks.

With a Luf towel, your bathing experience is completely different. For one, its textural quality and detail are exquisite not only visually but also to the touch. 

Investing in good quality towels ultimately saves our landfill sites and your pocket in the long run.


Whats To Love?

Smooth and silky to the touch the Luf towel drapes beautifully and feels wonderful against the skin. You might even be fooled into thinking that these handwoven towels are more of a pashmina than an actual towel to dry your body. They feel and look luxurious which will add to your bathing experience.

Sultans of the Ottoman dynasty, as well as all subjects of the empire would use these special towels in the hammam (Turkish Bath) and in their everyday lives. According to the ancient Ottoman traditions when a couple decided to marry, they would give each other a bath set, with these towels being the key piece.

Craftmanship

When you own a Luf Turkish towel, you will be owning a special piece of craftsmanship that has been passed down from generation to generation. It’s an ancient process that’s been taught and learnt for many centuries as far back as the 13th Century.

Each Turkish towel/peshtemal design, including its colour is representative of the people and the regions they are from. They’re very much like Scottish kilts where each region has a distinct colourway and style.  

Compact
