Lupita: The Towel That Shows Up for You. Soft, warm, and never far from reach — this towel shows up for me every single time. If flat-woven has always tempted you but you worried it'd be too thin, this one's thicker than you'd expect — the absorbency and grip are there. Dependable, not just pretty.

I marked Zita down out of fear, not doubt. She's new, and I needed to be sure myself. I named this towel after my dog — my life companion. Now it’s your turn to meet her.

Why Our Thinnest Towel Might Outlast Your Thickest One.
Half Linen. Zero Nonsense.
Anyone who says Turkish towels never smell is lying to you. Ours just dry fast enough that it barely matters — half linen, wafer-thin, and built to actually get used. Not for winter-thick-towel people. Very much for everyone else.

Very few Piramit blankets remain – and yes, they’re marked down, even though it barely makes sense on our end. I’d rather honour the last weavers standing against a world of polyester and other synthetic poison than protect the margin. Artisanal, double-jacquard, own-selvedge blankets; woven on very old looms, at a price you may not see again.

It's not logic, it's linen. Meet the Sade - our thinnest towel yet.
I needed to believe in it myself before I could ask you to. But these towels are magical — a cotton-linen blend made in five beautiful colours. They absorb water incredibly well and dry in a flash.
How can something this thin dry a body so well? It's not logic. It's linen. And it's basically become the direction for the vast majority of our towels moving forward.
We only have a very small batch to start — under 20 units per colour, for now.

Many colours/sizes in Piramit and Aztec are already gone. I've dropped the price below what I need to actually profit, because right now we need the sales more than the margin. Once what's left sells out, that's most probably it. (Two exceptions I might try to stock again — everything else, this is the last round, though I hope not)

Wrong label? Right story. Handwoven proof, not a flaw.

Somewhere between the loom and your doorstep, there's a story worth honouring — the humble hands that wove your towel, and the trust you placed in a small business when you hit "buy."
I don't slow down for much. But wrapping your order? That's the one place I do — every fold a moment to think, every knot tied with care.
Our towels: handwoven, hand-wrapped, and proof that a business can be profitable and still be kind, human, generous. PS I'm unable to continue to wrap every order myself. I have two hearts-of-gold angels now who help when I get overwhelmed. To keep it real, the person who wraps your parcel writes their name on your postcard.

This is what's left. Our double-jacquard Piramit and Aztec blankets have gotten too expensive for us to keep making — so once this stock is gone, it's gone. Forever. To send them to good homes first, we've lowered the prices. Drastically.
