We're completely hooked on NEW Seas the Day Collection Turkish towels—crafted especially for local sea lovers. They're our absolute beach bag essential, they dry quickly after a swim, feel amazing when you wrap up after a dip in the ocean, and look great hanging on your beach chair.
If you already have some, you probably know exactly what we mean. But if you're thinking about buying one, here's why we love them so much.
What Exactly are Turkish Towels?
Turkish towels also called peshtemal towels, hammam or fouta towels, and they're made from Turkish cotton or upcycled Turkish cotton. People have used them in Turkish baths for centuries! We've published a whole blog post dedicated to their amazing history – you should definitely check it out if you want to know more.
Think of how microfiber is to sheets – Turkish cotton is that good for towels. It's perfect because the cotton fibers are long, so fewer seams make them super soft. Plus, Turkish cotton gets softer over time, unlike regular bath towels that can get scratchy after washing.
You'll Find Yourself Wanting to Take These Towels Everywhere
These Turkish towels are so stylish and lightweight, that you'll want to take them everywhere! Airplanes always freezing? A thin layer to block the AC makes a huge difference, but you don't want to pack a bulky blanket. This towel is perfect – it’s lighter than a fleece blanket and you can also use it at a picnic or even as a wrap.
You could even use the hand towel size as a scarf when it gets colder. Imagine the reactions you’ll get when you tell your friends your scarf is actually a towel.
The Unexpected Softness
You might notice Seas the Day Collection Turkish towels aren't as thick as some others, but their incredible softness more than makes up for it. The secret? Extra-long cotton fibers! This means fewer joins in the weave, resulting in a towel that's unbelievably soft and gentle on your skin – way softer than most other towels on the market.
They're safe and perfect for even the most sensitive skin, like a baby's.
Forget Those Small Towels
Shaka Love Turkish towels are huge—a generous 182 x 91cm. They offer great coverage, but they take up way less space than bulky bath towels.
You won't believe how compact and lightweight this beach towel is—about the size of a book. It's easy to pack in your beach bag without taking up much space or adding extra weight. Unfold it, and you'll have a full-sized, luxurious towel ready to go.
If you've never experienced the luxury of a really big, comfy towel, you're in for a treat. You'll want to wrap yourself up in it after every swim or shower.
Sandy Beach Bags? Not Anymore
Nobody likes sandy beach bags! It's almost impossible to avoid getting sand in your bag when you're at the beach, especially if you're going straight from the beach to dinner or drinks. By the end of your trip, you might have enough sand to create a miniature beach in your hotel room.
But these eco-friendly towels are different. The modern sand-free towel fabric makes it super easy to brush off sand. A quick shake is all it takes to remove the sand before you pack it away, keeping your bag sand-free. Makes heading to your next stop so much easier.
Luxurious and Elegant
The Seas the Day Collection brings a touch of elegance to any beach day or seaside escape. Their quality and luxurious feel make them a stylish choice, perfect for relaxing by the water. They're both beautiful and practical—the ideal combination for a perfect seaside experience.
Turkish Towels are Wonderfully Absorbent
Because the upcycled Turkish cotton fibers are long, the towels are super absorbent, though not quite as much as Egyptian cotton. This is actually a good thing.
They dry faster and don't soak up as much moisture from the air, which is great in humid places. This also means less chance of them getting damp and growing mildew or bacteria, unlike some typical cotton towels.
For Beach & Beyond
We've told you about how versatile, elegant, absorbent, and generously sized these towels are—perfect for sea lovers everywhere—but their beauty deserves a special mention.
The vibrant colors and luxurious texture add a gorgeous touch to any bathroom, beach bag, or even a picnic. You can choose from colors like navy blue, red, yellow, teal, and royal blue, then customize your towel with your favorite local spot: Dana Point, San Diego, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, or Long Beach.
For the ultimate seaside style, add the matching bath mat and hand towel to complete the set. Our new collection is incredibly versatile, soft, absorbent, and beautiful—an unbeatable combination that will last for years.
