A double surprise
A double surprise
My journey with Pestemal started when I rediscovered a primary school friend I hadn’t seen in over thirty years. At our first meeting she gave me a Pestemal towel. I touched the fabric and loved it at once, feeling that it was somehow symbolic of having found my lost friend. Since I loved it I knew my friends would too. Not only did they love them, but they couldn’t get enough of them.
At our Mediterranean island villa my husband had become used to seeing me carry big bulky bags of towels to his boat whenever we’d go sailing. One day he noticed how small the bag was and asked why. When I showed him the Pestemals and how compact they were and then later how useful they were he was sold on them too. That was it. We had all started using the Pestemal and were never going back to normal towels again.
