We were gifted these sorbet towels in exchange or this review

Sorbet towels have been an absolute godsend on our two recent holidays to Genoa and Seville.

I decided it would be a pretty sensible move to have our swimming bags already packed and ready to go for both these trips.  The first thing kids want to do when they go on holiday is to visit the beach or jump in the pool, right?

Having the swimming bag already packed meant saving precious time, and not keeping excited kids waiting too long.  I always find that it’s excited children that find patience the hardest skill to master, and can get themselves into trouble pretty easily.  That’s never a great way to start a holiday, is it!

I was completely new to Hamman towels when Sorbet got in touch and asked us to review them for them.  The first thing that really impressed me was how light they were.  Bulky, fluffy towels take up a lot of room in a suitcase, but Hamman cotton towels are a lot more compact and fit into a tote swimming bag perfectly!

Sorbet gifted us a pair of large (180*100) Hamman towels and they are such a great size.  Not only did they make great towels, but I was also able to wear them as a sarong really easily. In fact, Sorbet Hamman towels are really versatile. They can be used as wraps, throws, table cloths and even scarfs.

It’s the practical kind of item you want in every family suitcase really!

As a towel, they are really absorbent and super soft which is perfect for both children and adults.  The ice cream like colours also makes them a fun accessory for by the pool or on the beach.  The other thing about Sorbet towels that I think Zena’s Suitcase readers will love is that they dry really quickly, so they are ready for the next trip to the pool or beach in no time!

Hamman towels are becoming increasingly popular these days, so why should you buy them from Sorbet?  I’ve become a huge fan of this company because they have such a fab story.  The discovered Hamman towels on holiday and after discovering how much their friends and family loved them, they created Sorbet in 2011.

Their Hamman towels, wraps and throws are authentically produced in rural Turkey so you know that you are getting the genuine product.   They have a gorgeous range of 28 ice cream like colours to choose from, so there is something here that everyone will love.

We have fallen in love with our Sorbet towels and would happily recommend them to our readers to use in the home, while travelling or at the festivals this summer.

With a family which ranges from babyhood – elderly, and inbetween. We certainly are in need of towels, and their quality and durability are important aspects for us.

  87. I travel a lot and get frustrated how much space and weight towels take up, when there are lots of other things I’d prefer to take instead! So these look a great and stylish alternative.

  102. these towels do look great for holidays – light and quick drying with a great range of colours, these are gorgeous and useful xx

  130. I love the beautiful colours of the towels but the fact that they dry so quickly is a real winner for me.

  131. Great choice and lightweight, just right for my son and his 2 children when they go on their hols later in the year

  137. Lovely bright colours and they sound like they are good quality. Just what I need when I am packing to go away!

  140. They look perfect for taking on holidays. I find some can be too thick that they don’t dry quick. This looks around the right thickness x

  144. My holiday towels are rather old and not soft at all, these look fab and no weight at all in the suitcase!

  148. I would love to win because it find it really hard to find something that is both really absorbent and super soft

  157. I am absolutely intrigued by a towel that can be worn as a sarong or used as a tablecloth yet still retains it’s softness and absorbency.They sound like a sound investment as a holiday essential for me as I enjoy tours and cruises and prefer to travel light.The colours sound delightful so I could pick my favourite colour too. They sound a winner all round.

  165. I love the colours of these towels and as we are going on holiday in September it would be perfect to take these towels on holiday with us

  169. These towels sound like the perfect towels for holidays and swimming. Not bulky and dry quickly is a must!

  170. I always struggle to fit bulky towels in my beach bag and they end up taking up a lot of room in the suitcases too!

  177. I love that they dry quickly. I’ve lost count of the amount of times our towels have still been wait the next day and it really isn’t ideal so these would be excellent.

  179. I wouldn’t say that these towels look ‘fab’. I’d say these towels look sh*t. They do though, don’t they?

    If I had been ‘gifted them’ I would also put them into a prize draw as well.

  193. The beach towels we have are over 10 years old. How lovely it would be, on our next holiday, to snuggle up to these cosy towels after a dip in the pool instead of taking the top layer of skin off when rubbing ourselves dry with the old scratchy ones.

  194. These would be perfect for my holiday – they are so much classier than the current beach towels that I’ve had for years and years!

  198. I love the colours. We spend so much time at the beach, so lucky to live close by. A good towel is essential.
