As a manufacturer with years of experience in the textile industry, I can confidently say that a peştemal is not just a towel; it is a blend of our culture, craftsmanship, and natural beauty. From traditional Ottoman bathhouses to today’s luxury spa hotels, the peştemal is reclaiming its rightful place as a symbol of functionality and elegance.

Our goal is not just to sell products; it is to build long-term, trust-based partnerships.

Why is Handwoven Peştemal Different?
The most fundamental difference between peştemals is how they are produced. While industrial machines can produce hundreds of towels in minutes, a handwoven peştemal requires patience, skill, and time. For producers like us who have been doing this work for years, each peştemal is, in a sense, a signature of craftsmanship.
1. Every Stitch Matters
Handwoven peştemals, unlike mass-produced items, are crafted by hand, with each stitch carefully shaped. This results in a fabric that is much softer, more durable, and breathable. Its gentle texture makes it ideal for spa, hamam, and baby products.
2. Absorbency and Quick-Drying
The most important technical feature of handwoven peştemals is their high absorbency. These products quickly absorb water and dry rapidly because they preserve the natural fiber structure of cotton yarn. This feature makes a significant difference in terms of hygiene in areas such as hotels and saunas where frequent use is required.
3. Lightweight and Portable
Despite being woven more finely than machine-made towels, handwoven peştemals are much more functional. They take up little space when folded, are lightweight, and are preferred for travel. They also reduce shipping costs, which is a major advantage for businesses engaged in wholesale sales.
4. Aesthetic Texture and Eye-Catching Details
Another difference that hand-woven peştemals offer is their visibly rich texture. Woven using different techniques such as honeycomb, plain weave, and herringbone, these peştemals are also quite eye-catching in terms of visual aesthetics. In addition, the hand-made tassels give each product a unique character.
5. Cultural Value and Traditional Connection
Hand weaving is not just a production technique; it is also the preservation of a cultural heritage. Peştemal is a weaving tradition passed down from generation to generation in different regions of Anatolia. By combining this tradition with modern design concepts, we not only keep our culture alive but also give your brand a strong story.
How is Custom Peştemal Production Done?
For customers who want to purchase peştemal wholesale, one of the most important expectations is that the product is not only high quality, but also has a brand-specific design. We respond to this need by offering flexible and professional solutions for custom production.
With years of production experience, creating custom collections that reflect each brand’s identity has become standard for us. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process:
1. Design Process: Color, Pattern, and Texture Selection
Before starting production, we listen carefully to our customers’ requests. Which colors should stand out? Which patterns reflect your brand?
Which texture is your target audience more sensitive to? By clarifying the answers to these questions, we create a custom weaving plan for you.
For example:
- Simple and elegant lines for a hotel chain
- Vibrant colors and ethnic patterns for a boutique brand
- Soft-textured, pastel-toned products for a spa center
2. Logo and Label Customizations
You can personalize every detail to enhance your brand visibility:
- Embroidered or woven labels
- Logo printing or pattern application on fabric
- Custom packaging, string, cardboard, and kraft sleeves
These customization efforts transform your product from an ordinary peştemal into a completely unique brand element.
3. Sample Production and Approval Process
Before moving to mass production, we produce a sample of the model you desire. This allows you to preview and approve the product’s quality, color tone, texture, and label placement in advance.
The sample stage ensures your peace of mind and prevents time loss during production.
4. Custom Weaving Planning for Orders
After the sample is approved, a production plan tailored to your order is created. Since it is hand-woven, production may take a bit longer, but we share every step transparently:
- Weaving time
- Fringe processing
- Quality control
- Packaging and logistics
This way, you can track the process from start to finish and know the delivery date clearly.
5. A Story That Adds Value to Your Brand
A product should not only be physical but also establish an emotional connection. With custom production, you can offer a “product with a story.” A peştemal made from natural cotton, on a traditional loom, by hand… This is not just a towel; it is also a tool that strengthens your brand image.
Wholesale Pricing and Minimum Order Information
Wholesale peştemal production offers a sustainable and efficient business model for both your business and manufacturers like us. However, for this process to proceed smoothly, important details such as pricing, order quantity, and production capacity must be clearly defined. As a seasoned weaver with years of experience in this field, I am sharing the entire process below with full transparency.
1. What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
Since hand-woven peştemals require time and labor to produce, a minimum order quantity is usually set. This is critical for ensuring both efficiency and cost balance.
- Standard minimum order quantity: 300–500 pieces
- Customized designs: 500–1,000 pieces is more common
- Sample production: 1–5 pieces are prepared (paid or free depending on the agreement)
These quantities may vary depending on the product model, yarn type, and number of colors.
2. How is pricing determined?
Peştemal pricing is calculated based on many parameters, not just the cost of the fabric. As a manufacturer, we consider the following factors when determining the price:
- Fabric type: Raw materials such as organic cotton, bamboo, and recycled yarn affect the price
- Weaving type: The difficulty level of techniques such as plain weave, honeycomb, and jacquard varies
- Customization: Details such as logos, labels, embroidery, and tassels increase labor costs
- Packaging: Special requests such as kraft packaging, covers, and cardboard boxes affect the cost
- Order quantity: The unit price decreases with higher quantities (economies of scale)
💡 Sample price range (for informational purposes):
The wholesale unit price for a standard plain-woven peştemal can range from 3.50–6.50 USD.
With additions such as organic yarn, custom design, and logo, this price can go up to 8–10 USD.
3. Production Time and Delivery Schedule
Production time varies depending on the complexity of the order but generally follows this schedule:
- Standard products: 7–14 business days
- Customized designs: 14–25 business days
- Additional packaging requests: +3–5 days
Deliveries are typically made via DHL, UPS, or local logistics companies. Customs procedures are also taken into account for exports.
4. Flexible Production and Long-Term Agreements
We have a production approach that is open to long-term partnerships for bulk purchases. We offer promotional prices during specific periods, special advantages for regular orders, and a customized planning service for brands that want to work with stock.

Sustainability and the Power of Handcrafting
The future of the textile industry now depends not only on quality but also on responsibility. For us as producers, the most tangible expression of this responsibility is sustainable production and cherishing handcrafting.
As a producer of peştemal fabric with years of experience, we know that handcraft is not just a traditional method; it is also the key to environmental and social sustainability.
♻️ 1. Eco-Friendly Production
Handwoven production has a much lower carbon footprint compared to industrial machine production. Electricity consumption is kept to a minimum.
We also prioritize the following principles:
- Organic cotton and recycled yarn usage
- Azo-free, eco-friendly dyes
- Plastic-free packaging and recyclable kraft sleeves
This way, we not only produce high-quality products but also support a production model that does not harm nature.
🤲 2. Artisans Who Make a Living Through Handicrafts
Handwoven products are shaped by human hands, not machines. The master weavers we work with pass down this craft from generation to generation with years of experience.
Every peştemal carries their labor and wisdom. This also:
- Supports women’s labor
- Contributes to local employment
- Helps preserve traditional crafts
This production model is important both in terms of social responsibility and strengthening your brand’s ethical values.
🌿 3. Long-Lasting Products, Less Consumption
Handwoven peştemals are much more durable than their machine-made counterparts.
Thanks to their durability, they can be used for years, which reduces consumption. In this way, they contribute to sustainable consumption habits.
💚 4. Products with a Story = Added Value
A product made by hand, with respect for nature and people, becomes not just a functional item in the eyes of your customers, but a meaningful object.
When you convey this story to the end user through your brand, it brings loyalty, trust, and prestige along with it.
