This towel was nice after washing. The initial smell was sort of like hay in a barn. After washing it, I enjoyed using it at the beach. The towel is pretty thin. The print is only on one side. But it's nice for lying on the sand on the beach. The material is comfortable. The colors are nice. It didn't mess up any after washing, but I've only washed it once. I wouldn't use this towel to dry myself off or warm up at the beach, but as a blanket/towel, it's fantastic.

I absolutely love this Turkish cotton towel from Kafthan. The cotton towel has a very nice weaved texture and easily wicks moisture. The colors are lovely and my style. Great for using as a bath towel or a beach towel.

I ordered the dark blue towel and it is a beautiful color. The towel is soft but also absorbent when getting out of the ocean. I enjoyed carrying this towel add it got much more easily into my bag than my old towels.

This is so soft! I wish you could feel it through the images. Im not sure why, but I was worried that it was going to feel rough. It washes easily, is a very nice pattern, and really looks nice at the beach or pool, kind of elevating the look over a typical beach towel.

This towel is very thin but at the same time very absorbent. It rolls up small to fit in the beach bag but when laid out amble room to lie on at the beach. I would purchase this towel again. It came in a different color than ordered but I actually like the lemon yellow stripes.
