Premium Turkish Beach Towel (35”x67”) Suitable for Adults and Kids 100% Natural Cotton Quick Dry and Sand Free Turkish Towel Beach Blanket– Zig Zag Blue Color

Updated:After washing the towel twice, it has grown a little softer. However, it has also started to pill. (Photos attached in an attempt to capture the piling. It doesn't show up well on camera.) Both times, I doubled bagged the towel in a laundry bag which I then placed into a pillow case (which I always do with new garments to prevent any staining from color runs). I can't imagine what state the towel would be in if I had just thrown it into the wash. This is one high maintenance towel. Even my pashmina shawls don't pill when I wash them in a similar way.At least my westie seems to like it, so it has now become her bath towel + bed throw.----I've been wanting a peshtemal towel for a while and after scouring reviews for hours and days, I decided to indulge in this Mebien one because I loved the classy and minimalist design.After seeing the towel in person, I'm regretting not going with a different color. Certainly the design is beautiful, but the light grey looks very faded. It's like I had this towel for a decade.The edges of the towel are also unexpectedly abrasive. Maybe it's the way it's woven, or maybe it's my hypersensitive skin, but it almost feels a bit serrated. I'm not sure if it will soften over multiple washes. I hope it does, because the rest of the towel is nice. Not as soft as I'd hoped, but it will do.One thing that I do like about this color is that it's pretty reversible. Perhaps they all are, but it does look nice in photos. I kinda wish I had gotten the black and white one, though.On the whole, a solid 4 stars for me. EDIT: 3 and a half because the towel fabric pills like crazy even after careful washing.

This is an awesome use-for-anything ‘towel!’I brought it on a beach vacation & used it as a beach blanket, beach towel and a cover up, and plan to use it for many other things as well!I was skeptical about its claims of not holding sand but I was pleasantly surprised when I could literally pick it up off the beach-even a little damp- just shake it out, and then use it to dry off!The size is plenty big enough for a tall adult to use, my husband (6’3”) and I would sometimes both use it as a beach towel since the other one we had was still wet.The material is thick enough to feel like your not just using a scarf to dry off yet thin enough to throw over a chair and have it fairly dry out by the time you get out of the water again.I’m going to order a second one for my husband to bring on our next trip. I think this would make a great gift, especially for those hard-to-buy-for people. I haven’t washed it yet, so no word on that.I also LOVE that it’s eco friendly, vegan and such; something I definitely look for!

I bought this because I needed to bring a towel with me while traveling, and needed to save space in my bag. While it is beautiful, does pack light, dries quickly and doesn't take up much space, that's where the positives stop. I made the mistake of washing this with a blanket when I first received it. Lint was EVERYWHERE and literally covered the blanket. I have washed and dried it (by itself) numerous times hoping the lint will finally stop shedding, but every time there is still a ton of lint and it fills up the lint trap in my dryer. When I used this as a towel on vacation, I was covered in lint and lint always sticks to my clothes whenever I am folding/packing it. It's probably from the fringe on the side, so lesson learned. I really wanted to love this towel but I will probably stop using it and give it away. It's not worth the hassle.

Used this as a blanket and a towel and a shawl in Costa Rica and absolutely LOVE it. We we're filthy and deep jungle and it stayed smelling nice and stayed really clean (I was not) and it's so cute!!!! And big!!!! And it's super absorbant and dries really fast. Will be ordering more!

Needed a lightweight throw for the couch to protect it from dog hair. The perfect pattern and color! For the product however I feel it’s a bit overpriced; mostly based on texture of material (a bit rough) and size. For what I’m using this for, it fits the bill 100%.

We bought 2 of these towels and they look and feel great, but after the first wash, this one already has a snag (never used, we wash everything before use)

I wasn't sure what to expect with towel, I hadn't gotten a Turkish towel before. I needed something to bring to Costa Rica where we would be visiting many beaches and didn't want to lug around a 'beach towel'. This one is thicker than I expected so it would be good for a somewhat rocky beach. You can get thinner/less expensive towels for the fine/sandy beaches that are a little more compact. It's REALLY soft, softer than the other, lighter turkish towel I got for the trip, so using it as a make-shift blanket would work too. The one 'con' is that it seemed to shed a fair amount when I got it. I know it says 'prewashed', but I think you'll want to wash it anyway to help reduce the fibers from continuing to shed - I noticed much less of it after I washed it.
