Amazon.com Product Description
This exceptionally absorbent bath mat finishes off the Pinzon Luxury bath towel set in style. Made in Turkey of 100 percent cotton, the mat weighs in at 1,200 grams per square meter with an extra-dense weave that soaks up water quickly and thoroughly and dries fast, too. The thick weave is also soft on the soles. A 3/8-inch trim and rectangular inner band add an understated finish. Available in the same range of colors as the Pinzon Luxury bath towels, the mat can go in the washer and dryer for easy care. The bath mat measures 20 by 31 inches and weighs 17 ounces.

History of the Textile Mill

Founded in Denizli, Turkey, in 1989 by Mr. Eke himself, the Eke Textile Industry and Trading Company began its operations with just a 1,500 square meter area and eight weaving looms. By 1991, the company established a sewing line to broaden its product range and increase market share. Soon, two computer-aided ETON system lines and 46 stations were added. The Swedish ETON system guarantees a minimum error rate of 2%-3%. It is an assembly-line-like system that allows the producer to know exactly who in which station is responsible for each part of the production process. This greatly minimizes production flaws, which earns EKE its stellar reputation for superior products. To meet continually growing demand, the operation was moved to a new 10,000 square meter plant in 1996. Mr. Eke is still in charge of daily operations and EKE has come to boast a 500+ strong workforce.

History of the Region

Denizli is the most famous city in Turkey for towels and bathrobes. The factories have employed a long line of towel weavers from the mountain top village of Babadag, near Denizli. Weaving is a tradition that has been perfected over the past 300 years. The technique originated from the weaving of Turkish carpets, and eventually moved to towels with the use of thinner cotton yarns. Denizli is not only known for its towels, but also for its hot springs, known as "Pamukkale," or, in English, "Cotton Castle." The natural thermal water, containing limestone, has flowed over the hilltops for hundreds of years, creating a smooth rock formation that gives the hills their clean, white appearance. Denizli is also one of the largest marble producing areas in the world. Their second biggest export after textiles is marble stone.

Customer Reviews

Bath Mat
This product is everything they said it was. It's nice and thick. It also absorbs water quite well and there are no left over water all over the floor anymore. This is a must be product if you're tired of having to wipe/mop up the floor after each shower/bath.

Pretty color!
I bought it in the plum color, which is pretty. It does not have a rubber backing, but doesn't seem to slip around too much on the floor.

Solid, thirsty bath mat
Impressively solid construction, with dense thick fabric. Absorbs lots of water when I step out of the shower, then I hang it up and it's dry for the next day. The best bath mat I've ever had.
