We’re stocking up on Hammamas. Absolutely perfect for holidays, tablecloths, picnics, scarves, rugs and so much more, in case you haven’t already been enlightened these lightweight Turkish pure cotton towels are an essential for the summer. And what’s so great about them, apart from the obvious fashion element – they look great and come in kaleidoscopic colours – is that they absorb water as fast as a normal towel, dry quickly and wrap up to nothing making them easy to carry. From £22 at Hammamas.
