I purchased the green tones set, and I absolutely love the colors, they’re just as advertised.Price: I did a bit of research around Amazon for similar products at a cheaper price, and these are cheaper per towel than any I’ve seen so far. To get 6 towels for under $65 wasn’t possible elsewhere.Space saving: check out the picture-that entire section was overwhelmed and literally stuffed with old beach towels. Whether I rolled or folded it didn’t matter: they were stuffed. Now check out how much space my closet shelf has back! I could fit another set and still have loads of room. I love it!Quality: No need to worry, if they are cheap for their type I am naive to it, but for me they’re amazing! They absorb quickly and easily and they’re soft to the touch and keep a wet toddler warm.Dry time: they dry quickly! The other night I went swimming at a family member’s pool and I had to hop out to help my children with something in the house. I dried off enough not to drip, hung it up on hooks outside, swam for another 30 minutes and it was dry enough to dry me off again. It may have actually been 20 minutes, I’m not sure. It was later in the day and the sun had begun to dip behind the horizon so it was warm but not roasting, I’m sure the temperature helped.Washing: I received no instructions on pre washing or soaking or anything, so I just used them straight out of the package and it was great! We swim a ton, so I usually let them hang dry and will wash them once every other week or sooner if they smell, and just have them hang dry. I have a nicer set for my bathroom and I had instructions to wash those normally, then run them on a cycle with no soap but a cup of vinegar. This makes my bathroom towels very soft and they don’t stink and clean well. I’m going to try that method with these and see if it keeps them soft and prevent pill build up too.All in all: BUY THESE! I have another set on my wishlist! My mother and in laws both have pools so we could always use more towels! :)If you buying these makes them run out though, don’t buy these until I get more ;)

Great quality. Great colors! They dry quickly and absorb a lot of water considering how light they are made. I would purchase again!

Because the towels are made with Turkish cotton, these towels pack easily into a small bag for the gym or pool. This is important to me and will replace my more traditional, thick towels. I definitely appreciate the rapid drying that does not promote bacteria. With all of the above, the towels are colorful, love that, but the texture has some problems. Drying off makes me think of tablecloths! LOL but without a doubt, will buy these again and again! Oh yeah, lint free washing!

Great colors. They don’t fade in the wash and the towel quality, if you care for them, will last but they are much thinner than expected. This makes them easy to cary and travel with. They are soft once washed. Great value for the quality of cotton you’re purchasing. They grew on me. It’s my second order with a different color palate.

Peshtemal towels have become my latest obsession. Amazon has so many brands, it's so difficult to choose what to buy and figure out what the difference between them, so I bought 3 different towels. 2 'diamond' patterned, 1 colorful striped pattern.A few things I noticed about this Hermes Gold Case towel in particular.1. the 'white' parts, which is the stripe and the tassels are 'natural' beige, not white. I like that, it's definitely more organic looking.2. the diamond pattern is slightly thicker than the normal striped weave. That would make it a bit more absorbent. This is a very slight difference, but it's also a bit softer because of it. I also bought a Gold Case striped towel, and the striped is about 1.5" longer. This means they used the same length thread, but accounts for the small thickness difference.3. The packaging is very giftable. It comes rolled up, and tied with twine thread and a large organic paper label. Classy!I don't care what anyone says, Peshtemal towels are not nearly as absorbent as a washed terry towel, even after washing many times. The thinness of the fabric can tell you that. But sand doesn't stick to it like terry, it doesn't remotely weigh as much or take up as much space as terry for the same size, and it dries much faster.It's still not the fastest drying towel, linen towels are by far faster at wicking moisture and drying faster, because the thickest linen towel is still thinner than these. However, this is the perfect combo of portability, design, function, drying, and price. There's always a trade-off.After reading the reviews before buying, and seeing that the people unhappy with theirs complained about lack of absorbency, pilling and lint, I thought I'd give a few hints about washing these (and pretty much any towel) to get more life and use out of them.1. Wash in cold water, dry in low to ultra low heat, and pull out when either damp or less dry.2. Use Vinegar to wash in. 1 cup for full load, 1/2 a cup for 1/2 load, etc. AND NOTHING ELSE. Vinegar will remove oils, destroy odor, and remove any chemical residue, without removing dyes. Many fabrics are 'color set' at the factory with vinegar.3. NO additives. NO detergent. NO bleach. NO fabric softener. NO dryer sheets. NOTHING. Just Vinegar. If you've used your towel to clean your car engine, or the tar on pavement, you will need detergent and spot treating before washing (and vinegar too). But for brand new towels, only vinegar.You will be amazed that no matter how bad the towel smelled before, the vinegar will take out the smell. Now water hardness may be an issue in your area. I have very hard alkali limescale water, so I tend to use the vinegar measures above, plus throw a handful of borax in for our hard water. If your water is acidic or neutral, you would use a bit less vinegar. The vinegar will cut the chemical treatment on the towel as well, and it's far more gentle, and natural, on the cotton than detergent.The dryer is what would cause pilling and lint. Don't fully dry the towel, pull it out before, and stretch it back a little bit. I noticed some lint, but actually very little. HOT dryers tend to wreck fabrics. While cotton is not a delicate fabric, it will shrink and pill if mishandled, especially in the first few washes.Unless you are in a huge hurry to get several loads done, it's always better for the fabric to dry on low than on high, and then pull out when damp, not dry, and hang til fully dry. I ran my towels through the washer/dryer twice, and they are gorgeous, new looking, fresh smelling and perfect. Try it and you'll see. Hope this helps!

These are nice.... huge.... attractive design........But they are VERY, VERY, VERY thin.Beach towel... OKBath towel..... NOT

These are great, they take a couple washes to really soften up. They do shrink a lot though.

My gf and I bought an order and split them in half. Lovely colors- didn't run in the wash at all. Absorbs very well. Light, soft. Dries very quickly. Recommend.

Qualité pas incroyable et gros doute sur le pouvoir absorbant, j’ai fini par retourner l’article

Initially they look very nice, but they shrunk a bit after washing. I used a couple of them as a bathing suit cover up- no complaints there but I used 2 outside to cover my patio lounge chair cushions and they faded drastically in the sun.

De excelente calidad. Era lo que esperábamos. Volveremos a hacer una compra igual
