Turkish Cotton Mosaic Towel

This mosaic towel set is 100% Turkish cotton woven in a mosaic texture of small raised dots (also called bobble or bubble weave), finished with a hand-tied fringe on the short edges and made in Denizli, Turkey. Choose a bath towel, a hand towel or the Mix Towel Set with one of each. Handwoven in Denizli from long-staple Aegean cotton, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.

The Charm of Mosaic Towels

There's something wonderfully joyful about mosaic towels. The rows of raised dots catch the light like tiles, the knotted fringe moves when the towel does, and together they turn a bath routine from mundane to delightful and a guest bathroom into a conversation piece. But unlike flimsy decorative towels, ours are made with the same premium long-staple Turkish cotton as our serious bath towels — so they're functional luxury, not just pretty objects.

"The fringe is playful, but the cotton underneath is serious work. Long-staple Turkish cotton, thick weave, hand-tied knots — this is craftsmanship disguised as whimsy."
— Lead Craftswoman, Denizli Women's Textile Collective

What Is the Mosaic Weave?

The mosaic weave is a traditional Anatolian towel weave in which the loom raises rows of small, evenly spaced dots across the surface, like tiles in a mosaic. Internationally it is also known as bobble, bubble or popcorn weave. The raised dots add surface area, so the towel absorbs more and feels fuller in the hand than a flat weave.

Thick, Absorbent, Beautiful

Our mosaic towels are woven thicker than standard peshtemals — giving you more absorbency and a more substantial hand feel. The thick weave combined with long-staple Turkish cotton makes them exceptionally soft while remaining quick to dry. And the fringe? Hand-tied in Denizli by artisans who've been knotting it for decades.

• Hand-tied fringe — knotted by artisans in Denizli
• Mosaic weave texture — rows of small raised dots, more substance than standard peshtemals
• Long-staple Turkish cotton — softer, stronger, more absorbent
• Handwoven in Denizli — 2,500-year craft tradition
• Quick-drying despite thickness — still light enough to dry fast
• OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mosaic towel?

A mosaic towel is woven so that rows of small raised dots cover the surface, like tiles in a mosaic. The weave is also called bobble, bubble or popcorn weave. On this towel it is paired with a hand-tied fringe on the short edges.

Is the fringe securely attached?

Yes. Each knot of the fringe is hand-tied in Denizli with a double-knot construction, so it stays in place through regular use and washing.

How should I wash mosaic towels?

Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the fringe, then tumble dry low or air dry. Air drying keeps the fringe looking its best; do not use fabric softener or bleach.

Are mosaic towels as functional as regular towels?

Yes. They are full-function bath and hand towels in 100% Turkish cotton with a mosaic texture of small raised dots, and the fringe is a decorative finish on the short edges.

Will the fringe shed?

A little shedding on the first wash is normal for a hand-tied fringe. After that it stays intact with proper care, and it may fluff up slightly with washing.

Are they for daily use or just decorative?

Both. They work as everyday bath and hand towels and also dress up a guest bathroom.

What sizes are available and what is in the Mix Towel Set?

The Bath Towel is one piece of 35x71 in (90x180 cm) and the Hand Towel is one piece of 20x35 in (50x90 cm). The Mix Towel Set contains one bath towel and one hand towel; sizes may vary by ±5% and every option comes in 9 colors.
