PESTEMALS

TURKISH PESTEMALS | JASON B GRAHAM

Bring the luxury of the Turkish Hammam experience to your home with Spa + Bath Accessories. The collection includes luxurious handmade soap, hand-hammered copper bowls, hand-painted iznik ceramics and pestemals. Designed and made in Turkey.

Once the capital of the Roman Empire, Turkey adopted Roman bath culture and the hammam was born. Today, the public hammam is still a major part of the culture. In traditional hammams, female and male sections are separate. However, the bathing rituals are the same: body scrubbing, a foamy wash and a massage.

Traditionally, the must-have hammam accessories include light-weight, quick drying towels (called pestemals) and handmade soaps.
