Turkish Towel Tassel Styles - Comparison of Twisted Knots, Single Knot Tassels, Fringe and Sewn Pom Poms
Tying the Turkish Towel Tassel is a skill that is passed down from generation to generation, just as making the towels are. The tassel is the only ornament crafted that has lasted throughout history and they date back as far as the 14th century. The Riviera Towel Company produces five different types of tassels: the Hand Tied Knot Tassel, Straight Fringe Tassel, Raw Fringe Tassel, Twist Tassel and the popular Pom Pom Tassel. We offer custom tassels on most all of our towels so you are able to choose any towel/ tassel combination, or if you prefer none at all. If your project requires straight edge seams we will finish each edge with a double lock stitch sewn seam for extra strength and durability.

Turkish Towels for Any Season
One of the things that attracted me to Turkish towels was their versatility. The most obvious use of course is a towel for the beach or pool, but there are so many more. They are truly a season-less item that can be used throughout your house and daily life to add to your decor or wardrobe. During the cooler months I love using them as tablecloths as well as scarves and of course in your bathroom, as our Turkish towels make a great alternative to regular terry bath towels. They dry quicker and are very absorbent. We recommend our Antibes and Diamond collections for anyone that wants to add some texture and style to their powder room. And with the holidays coming up, our Turkish towels also make great Christmas presents or holiday gifts and are a very nice hostess gift for a holiday dinner you are attending or if you are staying with someone as an out of town guest. Check back often for more tips on how to use our Turkish towels and please contact us Ciao@RivieraTowel.com if you have any questions. We love to hear from you!

Support the expansion of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument
Please help support the expansion of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument as part of the National Marine Sanctuary System. http://www.marinesanctuary.org/act/advocate/3118/ Our National Marine Sanctuary System – encompassing 14 National Marine Sanctuaries and Marine National Monuments – brings ecological, heritage, cultural, recreation, education and economic benefits to communities. The science, research and conservation work conducted at these sites under NMSS auspices advance learning and inform the world. The System model emphasizes community participation and partnerships in the sites’ management, preservation and outreach. Papahānaumokuākea is home to critical habitats and marine life including monk seals, sea turtles, whales, dolphins, seabirds, sharks, billfish and tuna. Some of these species are found nowhere else on the planet; and, the oldest living animals on Earth, black corals (Leiopathes sp.) as old as 4000 years, are living in the deep sea habitat in the proposed expansion area. These environments are protected through monitoring and conservation activities, while serving as the destination for cutting-edge research and exploration. With an expansion as proposed, the potential is endless. This special place also has a critical role in Hawaiian identity and culture. With the highest density of sacred sites in the Hawaiian Archipelago, Papahānaumokuākea has spiritual significance in the story of creation of the Hawaiian peoples and the islands themselves. It serves as a reminder of humans’ connections to the environment and our shared responsibility to take care of our planet. I urge you to expand Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument to provide the greatest possible benefits to marine life, protect heritage and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.

Why We Love Turkish Towels
We love Turkish Towels because of their beautiful textile designs as well as their versatility. I discovered Turkish Towels during a summer trip to Europe where I noticed that locals were using thin, soft, beautifully colored towels while at the beach. They not only brought one towel, but they brought several. Europeans tend to spend the entire day at the beach, so they will often bring multiple towels, coverups as well as a change of bathing suit. After much research I found artisans in Turkey that are dedicated to the original craft of creating these unique textiles. I worked with them to create the best designs and fabrics to sell direct to our clients at prices not typically seen in the home textile market, all while maintaining a high level of quality and design. Here are our top reasons why we think Turkish Towels are not only stylish and fashionable, but oh-so practical... Turkish towels dry much quicker than terry towels Terry towels absorb water, where as turkish cotton pushes water from your skin. Turkish weaves are tighter and therefore resist mold and mildew. They can be rolled tightly, which makes them them ideal for packing They the best travel companion, as they are so versatile and can be used as a wrap or blanket on the plane, a stylish scarf or sarong, and of course as your beach towel They can be embroidered for reasonable cost and make great VIP gifts, add style to corporate events and give your brand a colorful presence. We hope you will love our Turkish Towels as much as well do! Also, please know that every sale helps save the ocean! :) xo Shannon
