When you think of accessible design, a towel might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But at Capella Design, we believe that even the simplest items can be made thoughtfully, with everyone’s needs in mind. That’s why we set out to bring people a towel that does more than just dry. Our new line of Turkish towels, in partnership with Pomp & Sass, combines timeless design with accessible qualities that make it a true essential.

Here’s why we believe a towel can be accessible—and how our Turkish towels might become a favorite in your home.

What Does It Mean for a Towel to Be Accessible?

For us, an accessible towel is one that’s easy to use, gentle on skin, and adaptable to a range of needs. We wanted to bring people a towel that anyone—young or old, at home or on the go—could comfortably use. Crafted from 100% Turkish cotton, these towels are lightweight, incredibly absorbent, and gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Lightweight, Absorbent, and Fast-Drying

Traditional towels can become heavy when wet and hard to handle. In contrast, Turkish cotton is known for absorbing moisture quickly and drying just as fast, all while remaining lightweight. Our towels absorb up to 25 times their weight in water yet dry efficiently, making them perfect for frequent use.

This lightweight quality also makes the towels easy to carry, fold, and pack, whether you’re using them at home or taking them along for travel. They’re practical without taking up too much space or weighing you down.

Gentle on Skin, Hypoallergenic, and Softens with Time

Our Turkish towels are perfect for those with sensitive skin. Made with hypoallergenic fibers, they provide a soft, soothing touch that only gets softer over time. For people with skin sensitivities or allergies, these towels are a luxurious, clean option that combines comfort with practicality.

Versatility That Fits Your Lifestyle

An accessible towel is one that adapts to your needs, and our Turkish towels do just that. These aren’t just towels—they’re multi-functional pieces. Use them as a bath towel, beach cover, yoga blanket, or even a stylish scarf. Their minimalist, elegant design complements any aesthetic, and the durable tassels add a touch of sophistication. Plus, they’re machine-washable, making them as easy to care for as they are to use.

Accessibility and Ethical Craftsmanship

Accessibility isn’t only about the product—it’s also about how it’s made. Partnering with Pomp & Sass, we sourced these Turkish towels to ensure high quality and ethical production. While the towels are machine-woven for consistency, each one is hand-finished by skilled artisans in Turkey, supporting local craftsmanship. These small but meaningful touches create a towel that’s built to last and made with care.

Put Yourself First

Prioritize your well-being this holiday season by scheduling regular self-care activities—whether that is a long walk, your favorite treat, or some uninterrupted time alone.
