✈️ Turkish Travel Towels Are Taking Off: Our Custom Cities Collection Lands in Airports Around the World

Travel just got a little more comfortable. Our Custom Cities Collection of Turkish Travel Towels has officially landed in airport gift shops — starting right here at our hometown Santa Barbara Airport (SBA).

If you’ve passed through SBA recently, you may have noticed our colorful Salt Water Sun™ display in the gift shop (see photos below 👇). These towels have been such a hit that the airport shop now sells out every month.

A Global “Sense of Place”

Our towels are designed to celebrate the destinations travelers love most. That’s why we call it the Custom Cities Collection — each design can be tailored to highlight the landmarks, culture, or spirit of a city.

  • 🌴 Santa Barbara — Our pilot airport shop proves that travelers want souvenirs they can actually use.

  • 🚢 Cruise Ships — We’ve designed towels for Royal Caribbean, Silversea, and Carnival onboard boutiques.

  • ✈️ Airlines — Our team recently worked with Air New Zealand to create a traditional Māori print towel as a First Class amenity for their international passengers.

Wherever you’re headed, there’s a towel ready to tell the story.

So next time you travel, keep an eye out — your destination’s perfect souvenir might be waiting for you.
