While the most obvious use for a Teema is as a towel, many of our customers opt to use them in other ways. Because they are so much lighter, more portable, faster drying and more stylish than terry cloth towels, the use cases for Teema Towels are endless!

Care Instructions

Teemas are made from 100% Organic Turkish cotton, therefore they shrink a small amount under heat. If you'd prefer your Teema stay its exact, original size, please follow the recommended care instructions below. If you don't mind a small amount of shrinking natural to 100% cotton items, then feel free to wash and dry however you please.

Machine wash cold on delicate or gentle cycle, and hang or tumble-dry on low

P.S. / Insider Tip: We at Teema wash and dry our Teemas on standard wash and high heat dry cycles and they handle it just fine :)

Did you know? Teemas are made from 100% Organic Turkish cotton, which gets softer and more absorbent with use and wash, much like your favorite old cotton flannel.

Why Turkish Towels?

The World's Most Useful Textiles

Our flat woven Turkish towels will completely redefine how you use a towel. While highly absorbent, fast drying & sand repellant, Teemas are also wearable, portable, and an incredibly useful accessory in your day to day life.

100% Turkish Organic Cotton

We source only the finest organic Turkish cotton, which has some of the longest staple fibers found in any cotton worldwide. This makes it luxuriously soft and plush, and exceptionally absorbent. Turkish cotton is also known for withstanding the test of time, actually becoming softer and more absorbent with every wash.

I have two Teemas and use them all the time! I always have one in the back seat of my car for cold restaurants or the movie theater. I use them on road trips to keep the sun off me or if my hubby wants it cooler in the car. I also always take one on planes with me. So compact but provides the warmth I need on the plane. I’m a big Teema fan and have given many as gifts. ❤️

These are so beautiful and bright and perfect. I love love these towels. They look amazing. They dry quickly. They are soft and absorbent. We like to use ours as towels when on vacation and then as a light blanket for the flight home. They roll up so compactly so they fit easily in a carry on. These are the perfect towels. I bought the bundle as gifts for my friends and sisters.

Emma T.

Could not be happier with these! I ordered 4 for my young adults who love to hike and backpack. There was a glitch with one of the colors ordered and customer service was top notch - I was a little stressed because these were holiday gifts. Everything was ready in time and everyone (literally everyone) was super surprised and loved them. Thanks so much!!

Maeve C.

Beautiful colors and great weight. Gave one to each of my daughters and granddaughters. They were hesitant to use them at the beach initially until they saw ‘Gigi and Papa’ using and enjoying their Teema towels on the beach, they used theirs at the beach for the rest of the vacation. My toddler granddaughter said , “I love my pink towel, Gigi,” as she wrapped it around her.

Debby A.

This particular towel is just beautiful plus pretty darn handy too. I was recently at a meeting and the conference room in the hotel was chilly. The Lime Tiki did a great job as a shawl and looked great doing it! My daughter has my other towels at a beach vacation this week so I can report back on how the towel works in the sand. Thanks for the great colors and designs!

Carol B.

Very pretty patterns, well made and love the flexibility! I bring it with me when heading out with friends and will cover my shoulders when the evening cools off.Also doubles as a perfect little seat cover so I don’t stick to the seat when I’m wearing shorts or a short skirt. On the beach, walks or just running errands, it’s the towel, blanket, shawl I never knew I needed!

Vivien R.

When I purchased the Tan Diamanté, I wondered if it would be as it is marketed.I’m amazed! I love the quality, material, and its usability. I’ve used it at the beach with no problem. I’ve used it on the airplane with warmth and comfort, I’ve used it as a shawl, and I’ve used it as a towel. It’s wonderful! Had to come back to buy some blankets!

Ellen R.

These “do everything” items are amazing. I have used them as blankets on an airplane and in our RV, wraps to ward off the chill, a beach towel, a bath towel, a carry along to restaurants and theater in case it is too cool at the venue, a picnic blanket and more. They are light and not bulky to carry. They get even softer and more yummy with use and washing!

Tanya N.

Gotta be honest, I did not think these could dry a person... I mean, its a flat weave! I gave it a try and I am in love! It dried me off from the pool just fine. And I'm a plus size gal, after I got out of the pool it wrapped around my waist as a nice cover-up! Dried super quick as opposed to my friends towels, and it was way prettier than anyones! So glad I decided to give Turkish towels a try!

Marissa B.

I purchased a couple of bundles to disperse as gifts for the holidays, and they were so well received by EVERYONE that they are now a go-to gift item for me. Not to mention, I love them myself and will be stocking up. They are so soft, versatile and the perfect weight - light, but still substantial. And extremely well made. You really can't go wrong with a Teema towel or blanket.

FAQs

What is a Teema?

Teemas are Turkish towels, which are flat woven unlike traditional terry cloth towels, and hand crafted from 100% organic Turkish cotton. This makes our towels sand repellant, fast drying, super portable, and incredibly versatile. All of our Turish towels can double as a blanket, a scarf, a shawl, a wrap and more.

From long flights to chilly nights at home, from beach days to backpacking trips, Teema's superior qualities, portability, and versatility make Turkish towels an accessory you'll use every day in various ways.

PS - their impressive craftsmanship, broad appeal and various use cases make them a unique gift that you can give to literally anyone!

Are all Teemas the same?

Nope! While all of our products are made from 100% Turkish cotton, the structure and thickness of their weaves vary. Some have a heavier, looser weave, making them softer and more blanket-like, like the Labyrinth and Diamanté. Others have a tighter weave making them lighter and more portable, like the Simple and Layers.

Check the details section in the "About" tab in the product description for the specific dimensions and weight of each collection. Also check the Weave tab for a more detailed description of each products specific weave structure.

Do they actually repel sand?

Yes! Teemas do, in fact, repel sand thanks to their flat woven design. If you don't believe us, just check out 3,500+ reviews!

Many people are skeptical of this claim, but it's the real deal! We guarantee it.
