About this towel
Essential Turkish Towel – Classic Stripe Collection
The Essential Turkish Towel is a true everyday classic—featuring solid colors with crisp white stripes, finished with traditional hand-tied fringe. Woven in Turkey from lightweight 100% OEKO-TEX® certified cotton, this towel has been pre-washed for softness and gets even softer with every wash.
Perfect for warm climates, travel, and daily use, the Essential dries quickly, is highly absorbent, and packs small without sacrificing coverage.
More than just a towel, it’s endlessly versatile. Wear it as a scarf or sarong, spread it out as a picnic blanket or tablecloth, or use it as a light throw at home. Its classic striped design also makes it a thoughtful bridesmaid’s gift and it looks beautiful when monogrammed for yourself or a loved one.

Great colors and perfect for poolside
Traveled to the Hawaiian Islands with these awesome Turkish Towels. They are lightweight and barely took up space in our luggage. Performed superbly in every way. They absorb water when drying off and are perfect covers on the beach. The sand shakes off easily, and they make comfortable pareos for walking back to the car. Wow on all levels!
I purchased 1 towel on Amazon a few years ago and couldn’t find a match. Finally found you on-line and quickly ordered and received a perfect match. Thx! 😊
Gave to my sister who asked for it for her birthday. She easily packed it in her carryon. Used on plane, on beach and on bleachers for a volleyball game! The color (denim) was cool and attractive, and so very soft! Will now get one for myself!
Best turkish towels product on the market - always high quality, great colors and design selections. Wouldn't go with any other than Riviera!

Once you try Turkish towels for the beach you’ll never go back to lugging around those heavy, soaking wet, sandy old beach towels again! These are beautiful, lightweight and dry in a flash! I have converted all my friends. Give them a try and you’ll see what I mean. Riviera towels are colorful, gorgeous and beautifully made. A bonus is their commitment to the environment!
Discovered these towels on a BVI Sailing trip and fell in love with them! Already bought some for my best friends!!!❤️
I take my Essential everywhere with me! love it.
