Olivie & Linen is a home textile company founded by a mother of four who was tired of doing endless loads of laundry filled with bulky towels that took up way too much space and were a real pain to lug around for beach trips. She turned to flat-woven Turkish towels in order to declutter, streamline and simplify both her linen closet and her life. The quality of the mass-produced Turkish towels left her feeling underwhelmed. Many of the widely available flat-woven towels were made from lower-grade cotton and even contained synthetic materials that resulted in nonabsorbent and unsustainable towels.

Her quest for high-quality Turkish towels prompted her to partner with her brother in Turkey and start Olive & Linen in 2016 with the goal of making premium handcrafted textiles available at an affordable price. Their textiles are handwoven on manual looms by mainly female artisans right in their homes in a small town in Turkey. They support these families whose generational craft has largely been taken over by machine weaving. They use the highest grade, 100% long-staple Turkish cotton that is free of harmful chemicals. The premium fibers and the weaving techniques used, result in super-soft, highly absorbent, and durable towels that are ethically made, quality products.

Peshtemal is a flat woven authentic Turkish towel, especially well suited to our modern way of life. It is absorbent, lightweight, quick-drying, and most importantly eco-friendly. It takes up less space in the laundry and requires significantly less water and energy in the washer/dryer. You can even skip the dryer completely and just hang it to dry. The peshtemals stay fresh longer and become even softer and more absorbent after each wash.
