Item Description
The fouta. Not just an ordinary towel, the fouta is a wonderfully versatile fabric steeped in the history of Tunisia. From the early days of the Roman baths in Carthage to the bathhouses, or hammam, of the Turks, the fouta has been in constant use. The French were one of the first European nations to become enamored with the fouta, eagerly importing the fabric in the mid- 19th century so that fouta can be found in places like the dazzling French Rivera and the couture houses of high fashion. Fouta use has since spread rapidly and is now an essential piece for a day at the beach, pool, sauna or spa
Your fouta will be handcrafted out of highly absorbent, fast drying, 100% pure cotton. This Egyptian cotton is known for actually becoming softer the more it is laundered! The fouta is a thin, lightweight fabric perfect for a wide variety of uses such as a wrap, shawl or sarong. Being of large size, typically 100 cm x 200 cm, it is wide enough to wrap easily around the body for coverage. However since it is thin, it can be effortlessly packed and does not take up as much space as a regular towel. Take your pick of bright, vibrant colors or soft, muted pastels; fouta are available in a variety of colors and patterns sure to suit any taste or décor. Its uses are truly endless; fouta has been used as a yoga mat, picnic spread, tablecloth or even just as a decorative blanket or throw rug. The special touch of fringe on the ends will identify your fouta as authentic.
