Our weavers take great care in sourcing the finest quality cotton available. Our products are loomed by artisans who combine modern techniques with time honored, traditional skills to insure that your "Fouta" is built to our high standards.
The quality of our products is paramount to our brand. Big box suppliers frequently offer inexpensive options that may seem like a "great deal", but sacrifice size, durability and quality cotton in doing so. Many "Boutique" suppliers carry "Fouta" towels that are comparable to our quality but are often double the price of our artisanal products.
Our handmade collectionis woven on traditional wooden looms by a select group of artisans who create unique designs specific to our brand. These finely crafted pieces are perfectly suited to accent any home or used as a shawl or scarf. More delicate than our beach and bath line, we recommend that you hand wash and dry these beautiful works of art.
Two reasons..Most important is the quality of our cotton. Lesser quality cottons provide less absorbency! As with terry cloth, you get what you pay for when it comes to absorbency. Many towel manufacturers use a combination of cotton with other textiles. Our 100% cotton Fouta products are your assurance of quality and absorbency. The best part of the "Fouta" is that the more you wash it the softer and more absorbent it gets! Enjoy!
Each Fouta towel comes with care instructions. Depending on the cotton, there might be a few different specific recommendations but most of our Fouta towels are easy care with cold or warm water machine wash and light tumble dry. Remember that our fringes are hand knotted, so we recommend that you periodically check the tightness of the knots so that the fringes do not fray.
In Tunisia, people speak Arabic & French and "Fouta" means "towel" in Arabic : These are traditional woven spa towels used for centuries in Turkish baths.
Super versatile, the Fouta usages are limitless! Use it as a shawl, a scarf or wrap as well as a super absorbent beach or bath towel.

We have been importing, sourcing and selling Fouta products for over 14 years here in America, being French, I've known Fouta towels from the Turkish baths.
The difference is really in the way they are loomed, the honeycomb weave was loomed in a looser way, often giving the sensation of softness faster than on the flat weave. Absorbency is the same for flat or honeycomb : they both are super absorbent.
Our Fouta towels are loomed 2m x 1m = 38" x 78"
What is the size of the "Fouta" bedspreads?
We recommend a 94" x 60"( L ) or a 78" x 78" ( SQ ) for a twin size bed or a table that seats 6 to 8 people.
On a queen bed, depending on the look you want to give to your bedroom, you may lay a 78" x 112"XXL longways or sideways. On a queen that sits high, you may opt for a king size bedspread ( 94" x 112"XXL ) this option can also be used to replace the usage of a skirt..
Do not hesitate to use that big size to cover a big table or set up a buffet.
The kingsize bedspreads are custom made for an American bed! 94" x 112"XXL or 88" x 112"sideways or lengthwise for 2 different styles or depending on the height of the mattress.
We understand that "Fouta" towels are very addictive so we like to reward our loyal customers, who are aware of our quality, for supporting our Family business.
