{"product_id":"aveline-peshtemal-bath-sheet-natural-stripe","title":"Aveline Bath Sheet — Natural Stripe","description":"\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 22px;line-height:1.75\"\u003eThe Aveline is a peshtemal large enough to be a proper bath sheet, and light enough that you forget you are carrying one. That combination is the whole point. A plush terry sheet at this size is a heavy, slow-drying thing to lift off the rail; this one wraps all the way round and is dry again by the time you next want it. It is flat-woven from soft Aegean cotton rather than looped into a pile, which is why it packs down to almost nothing and why it works as well over a beach chair or a bench as it does in the bathroom. The design is quiet and graphic: charcoal stripes in varying weights on an undyed cream ground, a herringbone band at either end, and hand-knotted fringe. Nothing is printed — the stripes are woven through the cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:14px;opacity:.75;line-height:1.6\"\u003e36 × 63 in \/ 90 × 160 cm · 220 g\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e9e3da\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"list-style:none;cursor:pointer\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:12px;padding:13px 2px;font-weight:600\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe weave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"opacity:.4;font-weight:400;font-size:18px;line-height:1\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 18px;padding:0 2px;line-height:1.75\"\u003eA terry towel dries you with volume: thousands of loops holding water in the pile. A flat weave like this one works differently — the cloth is thin enough that water passes into it and straight back out into the air, so it absorbs quickly and releases quickly. That is why a peshtemal feels almost dry in the hand a few hours after use while a plush towel is still damp on the rail. It also means the cloth softens rather than flattens with washing: there is no pile to crush, so the Aveline gets better with age instead of tired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 18px;padding:0 2px;list-style:none\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:6px 0;line-height:1.5;opacity:.8\"\u003eSoft Aegean cotton — finely woven, naturally soft against the skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:6px 0;line-height:1.5;opacity:.8\"\u003eLightweight and breathable — comfort without the weight of a plush towel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:6px 0;line-height:1.5;opacity:.8\"\u003eQuick-drying by nature — the light construction dries efficiently between uses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e9e3da\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"list-style:none;cursor:pointer\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:12px;padding:13px 2px;font-weight:600\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe stripe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"opacity:.4;font-weight:400;font-size:18px;line-height:1\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 18px;padding:0 2px;line-height:1.75\"\u003eThe charcoal runs in groups rather than an even rhythm — a wide herringbone band, then three fine lines, then a gap of plain cream — which is what keeps it from reading as a tea towel. The herringbone is a change of weave direction, not a change of yarn, so it catches the light differently from the flat stripes beside it and the band has depth to it up close. Both ends finish in hand-knotted fringe, twisted from the warp threads themselves rather than sewn on afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e9e3da\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"list-style:none;cursor:pointer\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:12px;padding:13px 2px;font-weight:600\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"opacity:.4;font-weight:400;font-size:18px;line-height:1\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 18px;padding:0 2px;line-height:1.75\"\u003eIn a small bathroom it is the practical answer to wanting a bath sheet without the bulk — it folds to a fraction of the space on a shelf and does not overwhelm a narrow rail. Outside the bathroom it is the one towel that travels: a beach or pool towel that shakes sand off instead of holding it, a throw over a bench or the end of a bed, a wrap on a cool evening. It is not the towel for someone who wants to be enveloped in thick pile after a long bath — that is what the Montecito is for. This one is for people who want to be dry and gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e9e3da\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"list-style:none;cursor:pointer\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:12px;padding:13px 2px;font-weight:600\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood to know\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"opacity:.4;font-weight:400;font-size:18px;line-height:1\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding:2px 2px 10px\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 15px;line-height:1.7\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"display:block;margin-bottom:3px\"\u003eIs it absorbent enough to be a real bath towel?\u003c\/strong\u003eYes, and it is sized as a bath sheet rather than a bath towel. It absorbs differently from terry — you wipe rather than pat — and most people find one pass does it. Give it a wash before first use: flat-woven cotton takes up noticeably more water after the first two or three washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 15px;line-height:1.7\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"display:block;margin-bottom:3px\"\u003eWhat is a peshtemal?\u003c\/strong\u003eThe flat-woven cotton cloth used in Turkish hammams for centuries, before terry existed.
