the last towel you will want to own
Wendy Van Deusen from East Hampton, NY
 
I too stumbled upon this great shop where I met the owner and bought the Doctor's Number 1 towel. Love it for it's absorbancy, ability to fit all body types and how fast it dries. It only gets better with age, for real. I hope to be able to make contact to be able to have them in a small museum store of very special items in the US.

best quality and service by a long mile (km)
Lubinka from Australia
 
We stumbled accross this shop not knowing anything about the history nor about the quality of their products. We purchased blankets and towels and could have purchased much more. The service was exceptional. Now the trick is to try and buy some more products online if possible and ship them to Australia.

Best Towels in the world!
Christopher Harrison from New York City, US
 
In the gluttonous land of America where I live, all towels are too thick and use up too much water. Doctor's Number 1 towel, which I purchased in Istanbul is much larger (covering more of my body when wrapped) and is a thinner cotton so that it doesn't use as much water. Everyone who visits asks me where they can get one. Mine has now lasted 5 years and although constantly in use, shows no wear (except for where I spilled coffee). If you are environmentally friendly you will love this towel!!! Christopher from NYC
