In the ancient baths of Damascus, this piece was part of the ritual, not just a tool: a flat cotton towel wrapped around the body, light enough to dry quickly in a humid environment, and durable enough to last for years.

We have reintroduced it with the same function and feel: a flat cotton fabric with calm vertical stripes and hand-braided fringes, in earthy colors inspired by the stone of the old city and the wood of its doors.

The practical difference between it and the usual thick towel is that it takes up half the space in your bag and dries much faster, making it a logical choice for travel, the beach, and short stays. It does not retain moisture and odors like heavy towels do, making it cleaner for repeated use.

Its uses extend beyond the bathroom: a light cover on the couch, a mat for sitting on the beach, a shawl for a coastal evening, or a small sheet on a trip. Like other good cotton fabrics, it starts off a bit stiff but softens and becomes more comfortable after each wash.
