Ayse Handwoven Towel Collection

Ethically and Sustainably made in small batches, and handwoven with pride on 100-year old shuttle looms in historic Turkey, this luxury heavy-weight towel remains structured while becoming softer and more absorbent with every wash.

Pronounced 'EYE-SHÉ', and named after Ceren's mother, this gorgeous textile is just as hardworking and gentle as its name-sake, only getting better and better with age.

Distinguished by its delicate cornflower blue and grey gingham check, these towels are woven from fine-grade cotton that creates a relaxed but plush hand that closely mimics the weight of a traditional bath-towel.

We believe in buying less and using more, with our Turkish towels being the greatest representation of this sustainability practice. Our Turkish towels are not only designed to be a functional bath/poolside towel, but are also a perfect breastfeeding cover, sarong over swimwear, tablecloth, light blanket and/or shawl.

 

Please note: All of our handwoven textiles are washed in a traditional Turkish soap right off the loom, removing any natural allergens from the weaving process and leaving behind our signature Oddbird scent. It’s a warm, grounding aroma that’s become part of who we are for a decade. That said, if you’re scent-sensitive, a gentle soak in a baking soda and vinegar bath for a few hours, followed by a wash and delicate dry, will remove the fragrance and kick off the breaking-in process, bringing your OB towel and/or robe closer to peak softness and absorbency.
