OREA | Handwoven Cotton Towel | Mixed Stripe
The closest hand to terry - without being terry.
Woven from slub 100% Turkish cotton, Orea is the most substantial of our handwoven textiles. Its textured surface mimics the depth of a terry towel while keeping the honesty of the loom. Produced in small batches by family ateliers, it’s finished with a hand-tied fringe - a quiet nod to heritage craftsmanship.
Provenance:
Handwoven in villages, in southeast Türkiye by family ateliers in limited runs.

Use it beyond the bath

Each Atelier Orea product is washed in traditional Turkish soap directly off the loom - a time honored step that removes natural allergens and leaves a subtle, grounding scent. If you’re sensitive to fragrance, a gentle wash and line dry, will lift the aroma and start the natural break in, bringing your piece closer to its peak softness and absorbency.
