time-honoured textiles made by turkish artisans
Ottoloom is a New Zealand-based designer of the finest quality, hand loomed Turkish towels. We’re passionate about selling one-of-a-kind, luxurious products that will stay soft and absorbent for more than 20 years.
We stock everything from Turkish bath towels and face cloths to Turkish hand towels and beach towels.
Sustainable luxury
Our Turkish towels are made exclusively with 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. All our Turkish artisans are paid fairly for their work, allowing them to support their families, continue practicing in their traditional professions and to teach this life-long art form to new generations.
Our artisans are some of the the last remaining people with the equipment and knowledge to produce this traditional thick-looped weave, which has been around since the Ottoman era. They are made using practices that are sustainable and environmentally friendly, with the end result being a fabric of integrity and strength, with a look, singular to this craft.

OTTOLOOM ORGANIC PESTAMELS
Traditionally made by hand on old wooden shuttle looms, our pestamel range is a truely authentic Turkish Towel.
The superior quality of the organic yarn and gentle hand weaving technique means this towel will stay soft and absorbent for over ten years, compared to mass-produced, bleached and chemically-treated factory imitations. Try them and we promise you will see the difference.
