It comes down to the yarn. We use a slightly heavier, more densely spun long-staple Turkish cotton that gives this peshtemal more body, more softness, and more presence than our standard peshtemal. It's still lightweight and quick-drying — it's still a true peshtemal — but every thread feels just a little more indulgent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote style=\"border-left: 3px solid #8B4513; padding-left: 16px; font-style: italic;\"\u003e\"A luxury peshtemal should feel like silk on your skin but dry like cotton.
