This Christmas, treat your loved ones to luxurious gifts for the home from The Soft Cotton Shop.
Founded by Galway native Jo Altinkulp, The Soft Cotton Shop specialises in a carefully curated collection of textiles from hand-loomed throws to thoughtful gift sets, as well as the brand’s signature products – Turkish pestemals. The lightweight cotton towels are commonplace in Turkey and have many more benefits than regular terry towels.
The masterfully-made towels are super soft and kind to sensitive skin, highly absorbent, lightweight, and unlike terry towels actually become softer over time. The beautifully crafted towels also add an elegant touch to any bathroom.
Using 100% Turkish cotton, natural bamboo fibres, and the highest quality dye, The Soft Cotton Shop is committed to upholding the traditional hand-loomed craft and supporting the master craftspeople of the Anatolian region of Turkey, respecting the ecosystems, animals, and local communities in the process.
In in line with their ethos of supporting small businesses, has collaborated with some small Irish brands including HERB Dublin, Organicules and the Moher Soap Co. to create range of thoughtful Christmas gift sets.
