About
About Pomp & Sass Turkish Towels
Pomp & Sass towels are designed exclusively by our founder Nikky (she/they). These hand drawn styles (AI is not used to develop the art) are designed with you, our amazing customers, in mind. Feedback, praise and constructive criticism are considered when we bring a new style to the market. In this way, we all enjoy the Turkish towels!
Working with our manufacturers in Türkiye, we developed our own line in the highest quality possible. Our manufacturers have helped us to base the quality of the product on the original Hammam Bath towels developed hundreds of years ago. This respectful intercultural collaboration is mutually beneficial. The Canadian/Türkiye embassy has thanked us for working with Türkiye in this way.

A Fun Story about our Turkish Towels
While traveling, Cathy brought a Pomp & Sass towel onto a plane by wearing it like a scarf. She used it as a blanket and rolled it as a pillow during the flight. She tucked it into her cary on after the flight because her destination was warm. When she arrived at her resort she used it at the beach then wore it to dinner as shawl. It washed in the sink and was dry for the next morning. It became a sarong at the pool and dried several times as she went back and forth from the water. During her vacation it was beautiful in photos and made her life easier. Cathys' story is often repeated from other customers.
Additional Information
Absorbent & Fast to Dry:
Turkish cotton is a long stand fibre. When spun into a yarn, it offers a durable, absorbent and soft surface. The way we weave the product maximizes the natural absorbency of the fibre while also allowing it to dry quickly. The resulting towels is highly functional and can be used as a towel, light blanket and many other items.
Pure Turkish cotton can absorb up to 25 times its weight in water.
Are the tassels durable too?
Pomp & Sass tassels are machine washable. You can use this product for years and the tassels still look great. This is based on the average feedback we receive and our internal testing.
Why are these Turkish Towels Not Hand Woven?
Machines offer better quality, consistency and speed in manufacturing. This allows workers to focus on hand finishing the towels by knotting tassels and sewing on the label. In Türkiye, there are no longer manufacturers who offer hand woven Turkish towels. There is only one hand made towel manufacturer left in Türkiye and they exclusively make terry towels. So even if we did want to make people sit endlessly weaving our extremely complex designs (increasing the cost by a massive margin), there are no manufacturers left (that we found) to do it.
Pomp & Sass towels are machine woven and hand finished. Adult men and women are equally hired to hand knot the tassels, sew on the tags, attach the swing tags and pack the boxes. This work is done in the home and office to support accessibility and sustainability out of Denizli Türkiye.

Reasons to love & use a Pomp & Sass Turkish towels
"My brand was founded on the pillars or sustainability, ethical manufacturing and community support. After receiving the cure for most of my neurological disability, I found myself more able to pursue my ambition of launching my own brand. I chose to offer a high quality, useful item that would showcase my art. I work with students, startups and give to charity. I believe we can do all things in community. So while it's hard being a small business owner and it can feel like I am invisible in the marketplace, I know my community is cheering me on, like I do for them. I don't yet have an investor or business partner, but I know that I am capable of making this business great! I have every intention of growing my small business to become an international success, designing custom styles for hotels, brands and promotional merchandise." ~ Founder of Pomp & Sass, Nikky Starrett (She/They)
