After four years of use this towel is still going strong. It gets used as a bath towel, pool, & beach towel. I think it is still getting more soft over time. It's very absorbant, but in cold rooms or winter by the pool (outdoor pool in California, so not really all that cold) I want something thicker to wrap up in. That said, these Dandelion towels are a bit thicker than most of my other Turkish towels. I am including pics, trying to get a reference for the color, since I found it difficult to see when I was purchasing (the towel is more of a reddish orange than I had realized back then). Apologies for the vulture head, it was a nice orange color and handy. This one felt rougher initially than the Ocean Blue one I purchased at the same time, but softened up nicely (tho this one took a bit longer), and it has less snags and pulled threads than the blue towel (which is still a solid towel that I love).

I bought these in 4 different colors for travel and they are worth every penny! On airplanes, I use them as blankets for the kids, and at our destinations, I use them as beach towels (double duty!). They beat lugging hotel towels to beaches (they are much lighter and more compact), and they are much easier to bring back when wet. I have washed them, and they will get a little wrinkled on the edges from washing and you may want to iron them if you are picky. I am not, so it doesn't bother me at all. The colors are bright and have remained so even after 1 year.

I bought this towel and another from Dandelion Textiles to use as beach towels for my daughter and myself. When I opened the box, I thought there was only one towel in there, they are so thin! They do recommend you wash and iron these towels before use, which I did. I was skeptacle of how much these would absorb and so decided to try it at home before heading to the beach.The towel was super absorbent and soft, although I did NOT use it on my hair (I was worried it would be soaked after that!). We have since taken them to the beach and they are perfect! They hardly take up any space in my bag, yet are large enough to lay out on and I'm 5'10". They are quite absorbent but also dry fairly quickly. I laid on my towel for a while after going in the water. When I was too hot from being in the sun, I wrapped the damp towel around like a shawl and it was nice and cool and shielded me from the sun. ONE NOTE: These towels get pretty wrinkly! You can iron them, but who wants to do that everytime you wash your towels? It's fine for the beach but it would drive me crazy for household use.UPDATE: After using/washing these several times, the fabric seems to have relaxed a bit. When they come out of the dryer now, they are mostly wrinkle free, except at the edges. LOVE THESE! Ready to buy more!

I am so in love with this towel by DandelionTextile! Firstly, when it arrived, I felt like I was receiving a special gift. The packaging was so extraordinary. Then I was immediately thrilled with the feel and look. The color is the perfect summery orange and the towel was wonderfully soft. I have used it to line a chaise lounge by the pool, to towel off after a swim and even as a wrap/sarong. I ALWAYS get compliments. I even purchased 2 other color towels for my kids (I wasn't wiling to give up my towel to them) and am planning on purchasing more to give as gifts! I highly recommend this beautiful product by Dandelion Textile!

these towels are thicker than some of the other brands out there, not by much just a bit, and it feels good. i love how fast they dry, and how small they roll up.

I've always lived by the beach and this is my favorite towel to lay out on. I had never even heard of these "Turkish bath towels" before browsing Amazon for beach towels; I was worried they would be too thin but I'm glad I gave this a try. This towel is just the right thickness and softness of something I want to lay on ~every day. It's super spacious for one person lying down, but you could fit three people sitting on it (or two and a picnic!). It's not too big though, so it still looks like a proper towel and not like a bedsheet, tapestry or something that looks weird on the beach. I like the look of the mostly white towels, but I love this grey one. The "black" towel is really grey with white stripes, but that's what I was expecting/hoping for. I was afraid the white ones would get way too dirty, as I plan to mostly lay them on the ground. The grey one is just perfect, and the weaving is beautiful. I love the tassles and everything about it!! It folds up so smalls that it takes up hardly any room in a beach bag or hiking backpack.

I recently was introduced to peshtemals while visiting my sister, so have been ordering different brands to test in our household. I previously purchased this same towel in beige, so purchased this color for my husband since he made a comment that another brand was too slick. The other towel was a 50/50 blend of cotton/bamboo, and this towel was just as soft, but has a bit more texture to it which he seems to like. I think we own 4 or 5 different brands now, and this towel seems to be ranking higher than most. I love the idea of these as everyday towels - between the lighter washloads, more room in the linen closet & the amazingly fast drying of these towels, I have no doubt we'll donate most of the "fluffy" towels & have peshtemals become our favored towels!

Absolutely love this towel! The black color is soft and is a nice blend with the natural cotton. I purchased it to bring on vacation and I couldn't have been more happy. When unfolded it's large and perfect for the beach (can even wear it over your bathing suit) but folds down small enough to fit into luggage without taking up much space. It also dries very quickly. I've recommended this towel to all my friends!
