Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hammam towel (peshtemal)?

A hammam towel, also called a peshtemal (Turkish) or fouta (North African), is a traditional flat-weave cotton towel used in Turkish baths (hammams), spas, and at the beach. Unlike terry towels, hammam towels are woven flat — no looped pile — making them lighter, faster-drying, and more compact. They fold small enough to fit in a handbag and can double as a beach wrap, sarong, or gym towel. Anabyn manufactures peshtemal hammam towels in Kerala, India using traditional flatweave looms.

What is the difference between peshtemal, fouta, and pestemal?

Peshtemal (also spelled pestemal or pastemal) is the Turkish term for the flat-weave hammam towel. Fouta is the North African (Tunisian/Moroccan) term for the same category of flat-weave cotton towel with fringed ends. Both are essentially the same product — a lightweight, flat-woven cotton towel used in steam baths and at the beach. The names are used interchangeably in the European and Middle Eastern hospitality markets.

What is the MOQ for hammam towels from India?

MOQ is 500 pieces per design/colourway for plain stripe and dobby peshtemal towels. For custom jacquard woven patterns or printed hammam towels, MOQ is 500 pieces per design. For organic GOTS-certified hammam towels, MOQ is 500 pieces. Production lead time is 30–45 days. Physical sample available before bulk order confirmation.

Can you do custom stripe patterns and colours for hammam towels?

Yes. We offer full custom flatweave design — stripe width, stripe spacing, yarn colour (Pantone TPX matched), and fringe length. Jacquard borders with hotel or brand logos are available from 500 pieces. We produce a physical sample for colour and weave approval before bulk production.

Do Anabyn hammam towels comply with OEKO-TEX and REACH?

Yes. All Anabyn hammam towels are manufactured with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified dyes and materials. REACH compliance documentation is provided for EU buyers (Italy, Spain, UK, Germany). GOTS certification is available for organic cotton hammam towels. EUR.1 Certificate of Origin for EU GSP duty benefits is provided on all EU shipments.

Which markets do you export hammam towels to?

Key export markets: Italy (thermal spa resorts, beach clubs, Terme Italia operators), Spain (balnearios, beach hotels), France (thalassotherapy centres, hammam spas), UAE (hammam spas, luxury hotel amenities), UK (luxury day spas, online retail), USA (yoga and wellness studios, boutique hotels).
