An Oversized Turkish Towel Built for Grab and Go Days
If you searched for a Turkish towel that actually holds up to daily beach and boat use, the SlowTide Turkish Blanket is built around that exact idea. It is woven from 100 percent cotton in a lightweight Turkish style chambray fabric, so it packs down small in a beach bag but opens up into a genuinely oversized 66 inch by 80 inch spread, room for you and a few friends rather than a single-person towel.
What It Is Made Of
- Turkish style chambray fabric, ultra lightweight
- 100% cotton construction
- Woven design that shows on both sides, not a printed pattern
- Fringe detailing at the hems
- A leather label finish
- Imported
Because the pattern is woven rather than printed, both sides of the towel look intentional, so there is no wrong side to lay out.
Who Uses It and How
This is the towel for anyone who splits time between the beach, the boat, and the backyard. The oversized 66 by 80 dimensions mean it works as a full-size lounging blanket at the beach, a throw on the boat, or a picnic blanket for a group, not just a single swimmer's towel. Its light weight makes it easy to fold and stuff into a beach tote or dry bag without adding bulk.
Care and Everyday Use
Cotton Turkish towels like this one are meant to be used often and washed regularly. Wash in cold to warm water and avoid high heat drying to protect the fringe and the woven pattern over time. The lightweight weave dries faster than a traditional plush beach towel, which is part of why the Turkish towel style has become the standard grab and go option for beach days.
About SlowTide
SlowTide was started by a group of friends who spent long days at the beach and felt there was no towel that was both exciting and functional for daily use, so they set out to build one. The brand is built around a love of art and all bodies of water, and that shows up in the woven, reversible designs rather than a plain printed towel.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Turkish blanket?
- A Turkish blanket, or Turkish towel, is a lightweight, flat-woven cotton towel, traditionally made in a chambray-style weave rather than a plush terry cloth. The SlowTide Turkish Blanket follows that same style, using 100% cotton woven fabric that shows its pattern on both sides.
- How big is the SlowTide Turkish Blanket?
- It measures 66 inches by 80 inches, an oversized size described as having room for you and a few friends, rather than a single-person towel size.
- What is the SlowTide Turkish Blanket made of?
- It is made from 100% cotton in an ultra lightweight Turkish style chambray fabric, with fringe at the hems and a leather label.
- Is the design printed or woven?
- It is a woven design, meaning the pattern shows on both sides of the towel rather than being printed on just one side.
- How should I wash my SlowTide Turkish towel?
- Since it is 100% cotton with fringe hems, wash it gently and avoid high heat drying to help the fringe and woven pattern hold up over repeated beach trips.
