Testimonials :

"My cousin, Erica introduced me to her dear friend Lindsay and her new Ella Lou pestemals ... Not only can they be used to swaddle babies (and adults) they're also ideal for beach, pool, or as couch throws. AND on cooler days, you can use them as... scarves!" - Rebecca Woolf, Girl's Gone Child 


"Just picked up this Herringbone throw and it's my new favorite thing." - Camille Styles


"There's almost no place a super chic Ella Lou Bonbon Turkish Towel won't go: the beach, the pool, on a picnic, over the couch as a throw, around your neck as a makeshift "hey-that's-cute-where'd-you-get-that?" scarf..." - Eco fabulous

"I LOVE my Ella Lou pestemals. I took one on holiday with me to Croatia and it came to the beach with me everyday. Also been using them at home a ton. They take up no space on my bag and are great for taking to the pool." - a very satisfied customer

A curated collection of Turkish towels, Pestemals and Ikat pillows

Turkish Towels, also called pestemal, are simply the most stylish, luxurious towels available. 

Pestemals were historically used in Turkish bath - also known as Hammam - as both a towel and as a status symbol of sorts – generally an individual’s pestemal was indicative of his/her status in society depending on the quality of the fibers and the weave. 

Our pestemals are made from 100% organic cotton or linen and all hand-woven on traditional looms by some of the last Turkish artisan families who have been weaving cotton and/or linen for generations - experts.
The superior quality of our pestemals makes them luxuriously soft and incredibly absorbent.

In addition to Turkish towels, we also have throw blankets, baby blankets, and travel blankets all hand-woven from 100% organic cotton using the same looms and production techniques as our towels. 

Our home collection changes frequently as we add new items and others sell out. All of our home collection items are part of a limited collection - very limited quantities available.
