An object repurposed from its original use
If there's one textile that has reinvented itself, it's the fouta! Initially designed as a hammam towel, it has now become the essential fabric that graces our homes and accompanies us everywhere, even on beaches.
Origins and history of the fouta
The fouta is a traditional fabric originating from Tunisia and Morocco. Handwoven with cotton threads, it has been used for centuries by Bedouin women in the Sahel for their domestic tasks.
In the hammam, it was used to drape oneself when moving from room to room, to lie or sit on, while protecting from hot surfaces.
A fabric that has become trendy
Over time, the fouta has moved beyond its traditional role to become a multi-purpose and fashionable accessory. Thin, light, and soft, it seduces with its supple feel and durability. The more you use it, the more comfortable it becomes!
Its practical advantages
- Optimal absorption and ultra-fast drying
- Compact and lightweight, it easily slips into your bag

Today, the fouta comes in several styles:
