THE FOUTAS
Where are the foutas made BY FOUTAS ?
The foutas are woven in Tunisia in a family cooperative with 100% recycled cotton yarns (without chemical additives) designed from the surplus of international clothing brands.
The fringes are hand-knotted by Tunisian craftswomen who work from home and thus support their households.
By buying a fouta BY FOUTAS you support a fair trade and eco-responsible approach.
Can I customize a fouta BY FOUTAS ?
You have the possibility to have all the fouta models sold on our website embroidered. Cécile, a professional embroiderer at BY FOUTAS will take care of your personalization from her workshop based in France.
3 embroidery fonts are available, for 20 characters maximum and without emojis or special characters.
Personalization costs €15 per embroidered fouta, and it takes 5 to 6 working days to receive it if you choose this option.
How to maintain my fouta ?
The foutas are made in an artisanal way.
We advise you to wash your fouta before the first use, and to privilege the washings to 30° with drying to the open air to preserve its fibres and its fringes.
Your fouta evolves over time: it will become softer and more absorbent with each wash.
Whatever the color, BY FOUTAS foutas will not fade, so you can mix them with your household linen or clothing.
The use of a tumble dryer or fabric softener is strongly discouraged.
An embroidered fouta can be maintained in the same way as a fouta without embroidery.
PERSONALIZATION
What kind of text can I embroider on my fouta ?
You can personalize your fouta with text using the Latin alphabet (maximum 20 characters), without emoticons or special characters.
Please note that the UPPERCASE font does not have accents.
Where will the embroidery be placed on my fouta?
It depends on the model of fouta that you want to customize:
Fouta flat weave or fouta XXL Classic the embroidery will be centered, in the white band at the bottom of the fouta

Cyclades Sponge Fouta or fouta herringbone Embroidery centered in the colored band at the bottom of the fouta
