GEAR | Cotton & Olive Bamboo Towels Are Ideal For Stylish Travelers – Review
Cotton & Olive are a UK brand who sell a superb range of Bamboo peshtemal hammam towels and robes in a variety of different colours and patterns. Not only are the towels eco-friendly, but they are ideal for travel.
The towels are extremely lightweight, soft and fast drying, making them ideal for travel and camping. We love the way the towels look (and there are lots of different colours and patterns to choose from), so they are ideal for popping on sun loungers or straight onto the sand or grass for a spot of sunbathing. As well as their very generous size, because they are so thin, they pack down super small so they’re perfect for camping and backpacking trips too.
I’ve recently been using the towel to sunbathe on in the garden
These Cotton & Olive towels dry much quicker than regular towels and because they are made from natural fibres, they are kind to sensitive skin. The towels are so pretty, they can even be used as a pool or beachside sarong making them super versatile.
Using the towel as a sarong – genius!
We’ve been using our Cotton & Olive Bamboo towels for the past month and I’ve taken mine to the gym and on camping and glamping trips and it performs brilliantly. Despite being so thin the towels are surprisingly absorbant and I love the fact that for such a large towel (it’s bath sheet size), they fold down to a tiny size.

Cotton & Olive towels start at £18 with free delivery. They can be purchased at cottonandolive.com
