Al Fouta

Al Fouta (also spelled Fouta) is a thin, hand-woven cotton or linen fabric originating from Tunisia. It is traditionally used in hammams (Turkish baths) as a towel or wrap.

Foutas are known for their lightweight, absorbent, and quick-drying qualities, making them ideal for various uses beyond traditional hammam use. They are commonly employed as beach towels, picnic blankets, sarongs, scarves, and even home decor items like throws or tablecloths.

The fabric typically features a flat weave and is often adorned with fringe or tassels. Al Foutas are available in a wide range of colors and patterns, from simple stripes to more intricate designs. Their versatility and portability have contributed to their increasing popularity worldwide.
