In ancient times, starting with the handloom that spread to Anatolia, this culture has continued to the present day and is still actively ongoing. At Atlas Textile, we are a company committed to introducing and preserving the handwoven culture known as ‘kara tezgah’ in both our country and the Aegean region, and sharing this historic fabric with the world.

Why Traditional Weaving?
A peshtemal is known as a traditional Turkish bath towel. It is typically made from thin, lightweight, and durable cotton or linen fabric. Peshtemals are usually rectangular in shape and can feature unique patterns, stripes, or motifs. These special towels, used for wrapping, drying, and covering the body during visits to the hammam, can also be used at the beach, by the pool, or at home. Thanks to their quick-drying feature, peshtemals offer practicality and are an ideal choice for staying cool in hot weather. With the integration of traditional elements into modern life, peshtemals have become a popular choice in home decor, spa settings, and beach activities.
By selecting traditional handwoven products, you can achieve a personal and unique touch in your home or wardrobe. For instance, by choosing a handwoven peshtemal or scarf, you can have a distinctive style beyond standard store-bought items.
Handwoven products can serve as a symbol of respect for the cultural heritage of a community or region. By choosing these products, you can show appreciation for the artistic expressions of various cultures and contribute to preserving this heritage. For instance, you can reflect different cultures in your home by using a pillowcase or wall tapestry adorned with handwoven patterns.
Handwoven products often result from labor-intensive production processes, which typically translate into higher quality and durability. Therefore, by choosing meticulously crafted and designed products intended for long-term use, you can own long-lasting and valuable possessions. For instance, a handwoven bag or rug can be used for many years and still look great.
For these reasons, opting for handwoven products in your daily life is a wonderful way to express your personal style, show respect for cultural heritage, and enhance your surroundings with high-quality items.
Textile production worldwide is often driven by high profitability, which can result in lower thread quality, lower wages for workers, and challenging working conditions.

We believe that every product we create, when it reaches the end user, can help improve the world we live in. We utilize the art of weaving to produce high-quality items while staying true to our principles of honesty and fair trade. By using quality cotton and linen threads, we are dedicated to creating long-lasting textile products without deviating from our commitment to integrity and ethical business practices.
