Top Characteristics That Make Cacala Turkish Towels Special
- A prominent factor that sets our Turkish towels apart from other types of towels available is the use of Turkish cotton. The quality of Turkish cotton is acknowledged globally and its use as a raw-material in Turkish towels makes them extra special. This unbeatable quality of Turkish cotton gives Turkish towels a unique touch, which no other type of towel boasts of.
- Apart from their quality, Turkish towels are also known for their authenticity. These Cacala towels feature hand-made tassels. Hence, they are considered to be more authentic and tradition as compared to other types of towels available and used all over the globe.
- The luxurious feel provided by Our Turkish towel is definitely unmatchable. The use of premium quality materials in their manufacturing and unique production techniques helps them to give this luxurious feel. Furthermore, Cacala Turkish towels are soft and fluffy. This is another quality that sets that gives them an edge over types of towels.
- While other types of towels start losing their shine and touch after a certain period of time. Their quality tends to deteriorate and they rather start to give a rough feel instead of a luxurious one. Same is not the case with Turkish towels. They are known to last for a longer period of time without losing their sheen and quality. Furthermore, the luxurious feel they offer also remains with them until their lifetime.
- Turkish towels have numerous qualities. However, among them, the most prominent one is the enhanced convenience and comfort they offer. These towels feature quick-drying quality; hence, you will not have to go through extensive drying hassles. In addition to that, they can be packed easily. Thus, you can easily carry them wherever you are going to enjoy their fluffy and luxurious touch. Furthermore, the luxurious and comforting feel their offer also makes them perfect to be used.
Stylish and Beautyful design
Cacala products come in different styles that make you stand out. Beach dresses, bags and towels are designed with a lot of creativity poured into them. It is impossible for you to look ordinary in a Cacala product. Whether you have a Towel or you are carrying a CACALA beach bag, you will surely look classy. Our designers also stay updated with current trends so that they make designs that are both stylish and fashionable.
The speed of drying
While conventional towels can take forever to dry, Pestemals dry up real fast. The fabric they are made of makes them unique. They dry your wet skin effectively and can be easily dried up themselves. You do not have to carry a damp towel about in your bag. Pestemals lose their moisture content easily.
Freedom from the weight of thick towels
Summer is around the corner. You want to go to the beach and have some fun. Suddenly, it hits you that you cannot carry everything you need because your traditional towel has taken all the space. Also, you get to the beach and find that you cannot easily move around with your towel. It is just too burdensome. CACALA delivers you from all these troubles. Pestemals are light and easily folded. They can do everything your conventional towel would do. And here’s the catch. They are stylish. Beyond the necessity, you can look really good with your Pestemal. Are you flying to some special destination for the holiday? Pestemals can save you a lot of luggage space so that you can carry other items you’d need.

As far as we know, no one does it better than these Turkish masters. A lot can go wrong between production and delivery. To prevent this, we have a foolproof system in place to check that the quality is maintained. From the creation in Turkish villages to the careful storage in our warehouse before shipping, we ensure that what our customers get in the end delivers on the promise we made.
Uses of Turkish Pestemal Towels
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|

Important Notes!
Turkish Pestemal Towel Vs. Terry Towel
Terry Towels are thick, scratchy and quite frankly inefficient. How many times have you dropped your towel in the pool and had to wait all day for it to dry? Isn’t that defeating the whole purpose of a towel in the first place?
On the other hand, Turkish towels are made with 100% Turkish Cotton, which makes them stronger, softer, and more absorbent. it is thinner than terry cloth and dries quickly.
The More You Use The Softer It Gets
We recommend washing before use, Every time you wash our unique Turkish bath towels, they’ll get softer and more comfortable.

Okay, this is an amazing, highly absorbent towel. It is thin and not fluffy and you might need to reprogram yourself to understand that fluffy doesn't mean absorbent. These towels really dry you. After my first towel, I bought several more, including hand towels. I gave one to my mother who looked at me strangely and said that it was really not for her. I told her to keep an open mind and try it and a few days later she asked me to buy her some more as she felt these were the best towels ever.
I did a bit of research into the history of towels and found out that towels originate from Turkey, that the peshtemal is the original type of towel (and still used there in Turkish baths) and that terry towels came into existence for mass production purposes.
I love these towels and have owned them for a while now and they do get softer as they get washed more. They drive so quickly, too and are great for travelling. I wash mine in cold water in the washing machine and then let them air dry. They are woven well and seem very durable.
Highly, highly recommended. Yes, they are a bit out of the ordinary and people who visit now ask why I have a cloth as a hand towel in my bathroom and I explain. Everyone is so impressed and they are such beautiful towels....I have several in many colors....
One last thing, the peshtemal towels on Amazon are about half the price of other places on the internet.
Here is what you need to know about this brand and why we call this brand the "WINNER"!
-towel is soft right out of the package
-towel is nice and large
-100% Turkish Cotton (not 100% cotton from Turkey -- there is a difference!)
-dries in a snap
-very absorbent
-they offer many colors which makes this a fun gift as each person will get their own and throughout the weekend, everyone will know which towel is theirs!
Will be a great multi-use product for drying off, sitting on, wearing as a skirt for the ladies, serving as a blanket when the wind blows. Will be great on the beach to keep sand away (nice tight weave).
This brand was thinner, 8 oz (vs others at 14 oz) so obviously this one dried more quickly and that is one of our primary objectives.
FOLLOWED best practices for all towels in our comparison:
It was recommended before use to "treat" a Turkish towel and soak it in cold water to let the cotton "bloom" We soaked the towel in cold water for 24 hours with some white vinegar (also recommended). If you purchase a Turkish towel, I recommend taking these steps.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Cacala Pure Series Lightweight 100% Turkish Cotton Super Soft Peshtemal Luxury Bath Towel !!!!!
P.S. This is NOT a paid endorsement.
One thing: if you are the type to leave the beach or pool still wet, you should have a "real" towel to put down on your car seat if you don't want it to get wet. This thing won't help you there.
Conclusion: If you love the feel of wrapping up in a thick, plush terry bath or beach towel, you will probably be greatly disappointed in this product. But if you are one of those people that gets out of the pool or ocean and grabs a towel just to get the dripping under control and doesn't want to wrap up in it, or likes to pack light, or wants a cover-up, give this a try - you might fall in love with it!
