Sorbet hammam towels: Turkish beach towels that double up as festival essentials

Sorbet’s 100% cotton Turkish beach towels come in 28 different colours. Sorbet developed the different shades in partnership with craftspeople in Turkey, who make the towels. They’re a fiesta of mouthwatering, vibrant stripes. The original Sorbet range features vivid colours like raspberry, blue skies, satsuma and passion fruit, and you can choose from a large beach towel (180cm x 100cm approx) or a smaller hammam hand towel (90cm x 50cm approx).

As it was so lightweight, our towel was easy to wash and dry. But the hammam towel’s biggest strength was its versatility. It’ll be great as a bright, cheery beach towel. No doubt we’ll be using the slim towel as a picnic blanket, or a tablecloth for some impromptu summer barbeques.

The large beach towel rolls up small. I’m planning on packing it in my hand luggage, to use as a travel towel when I fly to Riga for a couple of nights next month. We don’t have any festivals planned yet for this summer, but I know our Turkish towel will be top of the festival checklist.
