Discover: Turkish Textiles and Loungewear!

Turkish textiles

I know we are all itching to travel and have businesses that require buying trips. Until things return to normal, I’ve heard from many of you that it’s been helpful to follow along on my virtual journeys to discover new product. Today I’m exploring beautiful loungewear from a partner vendor in Turkey.

We are going to dive into a material called sile. It’s a hand-loomed, thin muslin cotton fabric that’s been made since ancient times and it’s a Turkish specialty. Sile is perfect for summer accessories: loungewear, beach blankets, scarves, you name it. The fabric originated in the Sile village of Istanbul and is still woven on wooden looms that date back centuries.

It's natural and soft – perfect to cozy up with at home on a hot summer day. Plus, there’s no need for ironing. With all of the time we’re spending at home these days it’s the type of easy, comfortable product people are really looking for.

And here’s an interesting storytelling fact – the fabric is washed in the saltwater of the Black Sea and dried on the quartz beaches. The products are made from 100% hand-loomed, organic twisted curly cotton. I have also included (below) 100% Egyptian cotton towels, the perfect year-round, timeless staples.
