80 x 180 cm, 50% cotton and 50% linen Turkish Towel
The Turkish name for Moses, the Musa is woven from 50% cotton and 50% linen. It is a featherlight piece that carries the soul of simpler times - before bleach and branding, before mass production. It’s made in the ancient tradition, using unbleached, undyed natural fibers that haven’t been altered from their origin.
The result is a textile so honest, it feels like a quiet act of rebellion. Every Musa comes adorned with a faint stripe in navy, charcoal, or humble red, a stripe that is barely there, but deeply felt. The aesthetic is biblical, almost cinematic. You could picture it draped over the shoulders of a desert dweller, or slung casually over a stone basin beside olive trees.
Ultra-thin and deeply breathable, Musa is ideal for those seeking something humble yet high-performing. It folds down to nothing, dries in a flash, and can be worn as a scarf or shawl just as easily as it can dry your skin.
This is a towel for people who believe in slow hands, sacred mornings, and the art of enough.

Product Care
Much like the finest things in life, your Musa will only get better with time. After each wash, you’ll feel the luxurious fabric evolve on your skin, becoming softer and shedding less lint, while also offering improved grip and absorbency. By the tenth wash, it will have transformed into an indispensable companion, providing unparalleled comfort and performance that turns the simple task of drying yourself into something to look forward to.
Important Note: Do not soak before use with your cotton towels, as linen will shrink in cold water.
To help your Musa live a long, beautiful life:
- Washing Temperature: Machine wash towels on a gentle cycle at 30°C to 40°C to preserve their longevity.
- Avoid Hardware: Keep towels away from garments with zippers or hooks during washing to prevent snags.
- No Fabric Softener: Skip the fabric softener, as it coats the fibers and reduces absorbency.
- Drying Tips: Air drying is ideal, but if necessary, tumble dry on a low setting to protect the fabric.
- Group Washing: Avoid washing towels alone in an empty machine - tassels benefit from the company of other items.
Colour Separation: Always wash whites, darks, and bold colours separately to prevent colour bleeding and maintain vibrancy.
