The Comfort of Home: Childhood Memories of Turkish Towels
When I was a child, some of my fondest memories revolved around the simple routines of daily life. After a warm bath, one of my parents would wrap me in the softest, plushest, and most absorbent organic Turkish cotton towels. These towels were more than just fabric—they were a cocoon of comfort, a warm embrace that made me feel safe and loved. I can still remember the way they felt against my skin, the way they absorbed every drop of water, and the gentle scent of the cotton, a reminder of home.
As I grew older and eventually moved to the United States, I found myself constantly searching for that same level of comfort. No towel I encountered seemed to compare to the ones from my childhood. Every time I traveled back to Turkey to visit my family, I would bring back as many Turkish towels as I could fit in my suitcase. They weren’t just for me; I gifted them to friends, hoping they could also experience that unmatched comfort.
Bringing Turkish Comfort to American Homes
When we decided to expand our brand, Zeep Naturals, from soap making into bath items, I knew I wanted to bring the same comfort I cherished as a child to others. We curated a collection of bath essentials, including our beloved bubble towels and the same in bathrobe form, which capture that plush, luxurious feeling I remember so well. Our bathrobes, especially the multicolor bubble bathrobes, have quickly become best sellers, offering the perfect blend of style, comfort, and quality.
A Morning Routine Rooted in Relaxation
My mornings, especially when I'm working remotely or enjoying a relaxing weekend, are a reflection of the comfort our products offer. I start the day with a long, hot shower, using one of our vegan soap bars that lather beautifully. Then, I wrap myself in one of our bubble bathrobes, the same kind I once yearned for in my new home country. With an espresso in hand, I sit on the deck in front of our home or on our comfy couch, overlooking the tranquil reservoir. Jazz music softly plays in the background as I savor these peaceful moments, reflecting on the past days, and meditating for a fresh start to the day ahead.
This routine, this comfort, is what I want to share with you. Our towels and bathrobes are more than just products—they are an invitation to experience the warmth and relaxation that I’ve carried with me from my childhood.
