WHEN TREND AND TRADITION COMBINE

The fouta originated in Tunisia and was used by men and women as a bath towel in the hammam. It was common to attach it to the loin when going to the hammam. Today, the Tunisian fouta is very popular in Europe and all over the world.


It can be found on beaches, in swimming pools, in saunas, and even indoors. The fouta can also be used as a sofa cover, bedspread, blanket, and much more.

HAMMAM TOWEL & FOUTA: TRADITION, STATUS AND CULTURE

A hammam towel is an indispensable accessory of the hammam. In the past, it was a statement piece. The richness of the colors and the composition of the fabric could determine the social status of the wearer. At that time, fashion trends were set by the careful weaving of bath towels.


The East honors its traditions, so an extra-large sauna towel made of skin-friendly and resistant cotton is still an indispensable accessory for the hammam. However, the demand for a hammam towel has long gone beyond the Orient, and the cotton towel has become popular in almost every country in the world.


The fouta towel differs significantly from the terry towels. The modern hammam towel has a different fabric structure compared to the classic bath towel. Fouta hammam towel is much thinner and lighter than ordinary terry towels. It is fast absorbent and quick-drying, making it comfortable to wear.
