Hammam towel
Well, it doesn’t really matter if you live a life without a Turkish bath in sight. These light cotton towels might be based on traditional hammam towels, but they are brilliantly versatile. Soft, absorbent and very light to carry, they’re great for swimming, days at the beach, picnics, yoga and as impromptu table cloths.
The Luna + Fern hammam towels are a great micro plastic-free alternative to microfibre towels. They are designed in the UK and made by a small family-run business in Turkey. Each towel is 100cm by 180cm with hand-tied tassels. You can choose from five different colours.
*The answer to this question is ‘the mother of one of our team members’ who believes all spa experiences are “dull”. Feels the same way about afternoon tea. This cuts out a lot of Mother’s Day options.
We love the colours, bright without being garish, and the fact they are 100% cotton. We also appreciate that producers Luna + Fern are committed to “slow living”. They are all about taking the time to connect with nature and appreciate the world around us.
When you know that, it makes sense that they are committed to products and packaging that are plastic free. Quick drying and light, the towels themselves are a great natural alternative to microfibre towels.
They are also members of the Surfers Against Sewage Network, meaning every one of Luna + Fern’s products helps with campaigning to clean up our seas.
Each towel is 100cm by 180cm (or 39” by 71”) and made from 100% cotton.
We recommend washing each towel before use and this will make it softer and more absorbent.
Towels can be machine washed at 30 degrees and it’s better not to add fabric softener.
