Start with how the towels will be used<\/h2>\nHotels<\/h3>\n
Guest bathrooms usually call for terry, typically a bath towel and a matching hand towel for each guest. Think about laundering as much as feel. Hotel towels are washed far more often than towels at home, often in commercial machines, so durability and drying time cost you something every day. Our Damask Bath Towel<\/a> (180 \u00d7 90 cm, 900 g) and its matching Damask Hand Towel<\/a> are the pair to look at for this. For the pool or the hotel beach, a flat-woven peshtemal makes more sense.<\/p>\n The peshtemal is the traditional cloth of the Turkish bath, and it suits a spa for practical reasons. Flat-woven cotton is light, dries quickly between treatments, and takes less space in the laundry and on the shelf than terry. For guest robes, the Mini Diamond Robe<\/a> is 100% cotton, 550 g, in sizes S to XL, and comes in 20 colourways.<\/p>\n Here you want size, colour and fast drying. Sand doesn’t cling to flat weave the way it clings to terry loops, and a peshtemal dries between guests far faster than a terry beach towel. Heavier peshtemals, like the 400 g Demre<\/a> in ten colours, give guests something that still works as a wrap when the evening turns cool. Strong sun fades any dyed cotton over time, so ask about colourfastness and plan to rotate stock.<\/p>\n Retail is about range and presentation. You want designs that photograph well, enough colourways to fill a display, and products that explain themselves on the label: composition, size and weight. Reversible double-face jacquards, robes and layered muslin blankets give a display variety in both pattern and texture. The line sheet on our wholesale page<\/a> lists the current designs in each line and the number of colourways per line.<\/p>\n Write these down for every item, and ask the supplier to confirm them back to you in writing.<\/p>\n Exact percentages, such as “100% cotton” or “70% cotton, 30% linen”. Never just “cotton blend”. Composition affects absorbency, drying time, feel and how the towel stands up to laundering. If you resell, it also has to be right on your own labels.<\/p>\n Agree the weight in grams for each item, and ask the supplier how much variation they consider normal between pieces. Woven cloth varies a little from piece to piece. Agree on that range before the order ships, so neither side is surprised.<\/p>\n Give length and width, and state whether the length includes the fringe. For a beach club, a few centimetres either way may not matter. For a shelf of folded towels in a shop, it can.<\/p>\n Name the weave: flat, double-face jacquard, terry, terry-backed or waffle. Then the ends: twisted fringe, knotted fringe or a hem. Fringe is part of the look of a peshtemal, but ask how it holds up to repeated machine washing, and test it in your own laundry before you commit.<\/p>\n Name the colour, and approve a physical sample of it. Screens and photos are unreliable for matching colour. If you plan to reorder over several seasons, ask how the supplier handles colour consistency between production batches.<\/p>\n Ask for the recommended wash temperature and drying method, then compare them with what your laundry actually does. A towel that is happy at 30\u00b0C (86\u00b0F) at home may behave differently at the higher temperatures many commercial laundries use.<\/p>\n Yarn is dyed in batches, often called dye lots, and two lots of the same named colour can differ slightly. On a single towel nobody notices. On a stack of folded towels from two different orders, side by side, people can. A few habits help:<\/p>\n Ask us all of them. Put these questions in your inquiry and we will answer them for your order. Wholesale orders follow the terms agreed for that order, so settle how damaged or faulty pieces are handled before you confirm. For retail orders, our return policy<\/a> covers it: email us a photo within 14 days of delivery and we send a replacement or a refund.<\/p>\n Our wholesale page invites buyers to ask for samples before committing to an order. Any supplier worth working with should be willing to do the same. A sample only helps if you test it, though. A simple routine:<\/p>\n Base your final specification on the washed samples, since that is how the towels will spend most of their working life.<\/p>\n We ship from Istanbul. Our shipping list covers 21 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and much of Western Europe. If your business is outside that list, our shipping page<\/a> asks wholesalers to get in touch about wholesale global shipping options.<\/p>\n Retail orders go by priority shipping and should arrive in 3 to 5 working days, with occasional delays at customs. For wholesale quantities, ask about delivery timing in your inquiry rather than relying on the retail estimate. Import duties and taxes depend on your country and the goods, so check with your customs broker or local customs authority before you set a budget.<\/p>\n As our wholesale page and S\u0131k Sorulanlar<\/a> say, we work with international wholesalers on a regular basis. The inquiry form asks for your name, business name, email, website or Instagram, country, type of business, the product lines you’re interested in and a rough quantity range. The more specific your message, the more useful our reply. It helps to include:<\/p>\n We reply with our wholesale prices, and you can ask for samples before you commit. When you’re ready, send your list through the wholesale inquiry form<\/a>.<\/p>\n Further reading:<\/strong> Turkish Towel Weight Explained: What 280 g, 400 g and 900 g Mean<\/a> \u00b7 How to Tell a Real Turkish Towel From an Imitation<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bulk orders go wrong in the details: colour drift between batches, weights that vary, sizes measured differently.
