Hammam Towels - too unconventional?
Yes I did ponder that too GG - however I'm giving it a go.
As they're 100% cotton they can be washed on a hot cycle with a dollop of vanish if needs be.
I don't think people have as high an expectation with pool towels - bathroom towels are a different matter of course. These will probably fade eventually as the sun here is a killer, but in the end I'm hoping that it'll be a 'shabby chic' effect where the original quality of the product will still shine through
Anyway - I'll keep you posted; they're on order and due in stock 16th July.

One martini, two martini, three martini floor!
I thought of this thread tonight after Hubby said that he really liked the new towels I had bought. They're smaller and thinner than our usual towel, and he likes them mainly because they dry much faster than our plush towels.
To be honest, I bought them for $2 apiece at the local superstore intending to use them as over-sized drool towels for our over-sized Great Dane! They're only thin because they're about as cheap as they come.
I had never heard of Hammam towels before this thread, but I will be on the lookout for them in the future.

That drying time is good to hear Helen!
Well mine arrived today (the ones from the white co) and I'm pleased as punch with the quality and size.
They're the length of a standard beach towel and quite wide so will easily cover a standard sun lounger, and although they're thinner than a traditional towel, with no pile, they don't feel cheap. They're like a thin woven cotton (so you can feel the weave) and yes could look trendy if worn as a sarong!
I got 10 in the end and due to their lack of bulk I can easily store them, which I'm pleased about.

I'm resurrecting this very old thread because I've just bought some Hammam towels from Matalan which I think are lovely. They're in pretty colours (pink, aqua, acid yellow and navy). Normally £6 each, currently on 2 for £8. 140 cm by 70 cm. Their version has a terry finish on one side.

Oh this is an old thread
And those Matalan ones look a super price.
Mine are still going...and never did fade. I use them as throws, towels even a tablecloth. In the end they proved a bit too 'different' for our guests so I went back to traditional towels but these days I think that style of towel is a bit more known.
They were great for washing, drying and storing and given the ones on the link also have towelling then that's a perfect combination.
