The hammam fouta is the original: a large woven cotton towel designed for bathing, spa treatments, and the hammam ritual. At BY FOUTAS, we offer it in traditional flat weave, embossed honeycomb weave, and a terry-lined version—all of which can be embroidered and are made in a family-run Tunisian cooperative.
Why a fouta instead of a towel?
Lightweight, compact, and quick-drying, the fouta dries much faster than a traditional towel and takes up half the space in your gym bag or suitcase. Made from 100% recycled cotton certified GRS OEKO-TEX, it becomes softer with every wash.
From the hammam to the spa, right at home
Also known as a peshtemal, the fouta is perfect for the hammam, sauna, pool, gym, and bathroom. Choose the weave based on how you plan to use it: honeycomb-woven for softness, terry-lined for maximum absorbency, or classic flat-woven for a traditional feel.
