About foutas

The fouta is a traditional textile originating from Tunisia, initially used in hammams. Lightweight, absorbent, and versatile, it is now appreciated both for the beach and for use at home.

A fouta can be used as a beach or bath towel, a light throw, a sofa throw, a tablecloth, a sarong, or even an extra blanket. Its versatility makes it an everyday essential.

The classic fouta features a flat weave that is light and flexible. It is ideal for the beach or travel thanks to its compact size and quick-drying properties. Sand can be easily shaken off, and it folds neatly without taking up space in a bag.

The honeycomb fouta, on the other hand, is characterized by its textured weave with small raised cells. This structure enhances absorbency while remaining lightweight and soft. It feels more enveloping and is perfectly suited for bath, spa, or home use.

We offer several sizes designed to suit every use:

Standard size (approx. 100 x 200 cm): ideal for the beach, pool, or bath.

Large / couple size (approx. 200 x 200 cm): perfect for sharing or as a generous family towel.

Extra-large size (approx. 200 x 300 cm): ideal as a sofa throw or bed cover.

Mini fouta: practical for children or as a compact travel towel.

The exact dimensions are always specified on each product page to help you choose the size that best fits your needs.
