Reason for adding to the TGTBT collection: loom irregularity, shown in first image.

Zeki comes in three colours: Blue, Blue/Salmon, and Rainbow. Put the Blue and Blue/Salmon side by side and the family resemblance is obvious — same restrained palette, cut from the same cloth. Then there's Rainbow. When our photographer first sent through the images, she paused on one and said she didn't know where it fit — it looked nothing like its siblings. I had to explain: it's still a Zeki. It just wears its colours differently. Zeki means clever in Turkish, and there's a particular kind of cleverness in refusing to look like everyone else and flourishing anyway, in your own colours, in your own time. Call Rainbow the neurodivergent child of the family — the one who was never going to fit the mould, and never needed to. All three share the same weave: a 50/50 blend of linen and cotton that's more absorbent than a pure cotton Turkish towel, yet ultra-lightweight — never flimsy. Substantial in the hand, soft against the skin, with just enough grip to feel like it's actually doing its job.

Product Care

Much like the finest things in life, your Zeki 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 Zeki 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 fibres 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.
