Luks Linen – Sustainable Textiles Made to Last
What is a peshtemal towel and how is it different from regular towels?
A peshtemal towel is a traditional Turkish flat-weave, usually made from cotton or linen. Unlike regular towels, peshtemals are thinner, faster-drying, and surprisingly absorbent. The best peshtemal towels are lightweight, compact, and long-lasting - perfect for travel or small bathrooms. They also take up less space in the laundry basket, which is always a win. With each wash, they soften and get even nicer to use. Whether you fancy one as a bath towel, throw, or even a scarf, they’re up for the job.
How do I care for Luks Linen towels and textiles to keep them in top condition?
To care for your Luks Linen textiles, wash them at 30–40°C with a gentle detergent. These long-lasting towels are made from natural fibres that improve with use and time. Avoid fabric softener, as it clogs the fibres and reduces absorbency. Line dry when you can, or tumble dry low. Look after them properly and they’ll serve you well for years - cost-per-use, they're hard to beat. For more tips, check out our Linen Care Guide.
Are Luks Linen products made using sustainable or ethical practices?
Yes, Luks Linen products are made using sustainable and ethical practices from top to bottom. They partner with small family-run ateliers in Turkey, focusing on heritage weaving and fair working conditions. Most items are hand-loomed using OEKO-TEX certified cotton, which means no nasty chemicals. That transparency and care make them a great fit for anyone prioritising long-lasting quality and ethical sourcing.
Can peshtemal towels be used as bath towels or for travel?
Absolutely. Peshtemal towels are brilliant as bath towels and make excellent travel mates. The best peshtemal towels are super absorbent, dry fast, and roll up small - ideal whether you’re heading to the beach or sneaking one into hand luggage. They double up nicely as picnic throws or post-swim wraps, too. Few things do so much with so little fuss.
Which Luks Linen pieces are truly buy-it-for-life?
The most buy-it-for-life Luks Linen pieces are their hand-loomed peshtemal towels and throws. Woven from long-staple cotton using traditional methods, they’re incredibly durable and get softer over time. Each piece comes with a 20-year repair or replace guarantee - pretty rare in textiles.
