ZesteDesign Beach Towel Genuine Turkish Cotton Oversized Bath Towel Blanket Wrap - Perfect for Pool, Spa, Yoga (Black and Beige, 38x73 inches)

This does not feel like cotton. It is far too soft and completely non-absorbent. It just pushes the water over your skin. The whole point of fouta towels is that 1) they are absorbent (more than a terry towel) and also that they dry super fast (unlike a terry towel). I have washed it multiple times to soften up the fibers - in the hopes that it would become absorbent. It has not worked. I also know to never use fabric softener on towels as it coats the fibers and makes them non-absorbent. Also, I have many fouta/hammam towels from a few different vendors and this one is so unlike any fouta that I have ever seen/experienced before. It is beautiful to look at - but unusable as a towel to dry off after a shower. I will probably use it either as a blanket or as the towel to put directly on the sand at the beach. But it won't be used to dry anything.

Okay I cannot say enough good things about this towel, honestly I would recommend buying SEVERAL - they're good for home, beach or WHATEVER. I will probably buy 1 or 2 more to use as wraps when I'm traveling. I love the soft cotton, they're extremely well made and can be used for many many purposes. throw a few in the trunk for cold nights at the beach :)

I received it before Christmas, the package was not damaged, but the wrapping was all plastic and it was clearly shipped from Turkey. Which I thought it was a good sign of a genuine product and it is genuine. The material feels soft and new, but nothing like a Turkish towel I’ve touched before. I bought this product trusting the pictures and the price. But this towels feel cheap. They did not come in a pouch like the pictures and description said, which is disappointing because I bought them for a present. Oh, well. It took a long time to get here. I truly don’t know what to do. Return them? I didn’t even get an invoice with it. I was excited when I saw the package but disappointed when I opened it.

A good Turkish towel, although a bit pricey. I like that I was able to get this in sold white; which is very hard to find. Washed well and came out just about the same size without severe shrinking. I wish the price-point were lower, I'd buy more.

I really like how this towel is made. It's lightweight but the cotton is soft and absorbent and it washes well, gets better in fact. The weave is consistent and nice.

These towels are so nice and soft. More absorbent than I thought they would be. You will need to wash them once or twice to deal with the excess lint, but after that they're perfect. The look and feel wonderful.

Best towels I have ever used! Soft and fine enough fabric to allow you to dry yourself quickly and easily. They also dry very quickly.

I'm not sure what this is made out of. I've washed it 6 times (without softener) and out still can't absorb the water of my glasses.
