About Us

Not Just a Towel, It’s a Lifestyle.

Turcooza was born from a journey of discovery and a deep appreciation for heritage. Our story began when our founder first visited Porto two years ago. Captivated by the city’s soul—the Atlantic breeze, the historic architecture, and the warmth of its people—he decided to call this beautiful coastal city home.

Drawing from his Turkish roots and a decade of experience in artisanal craftsmanship, our founder envisioned a brand that could bridge the gap between traditional Mediterranean artistry and the modern European lifestyle.

Why the Peshtemal? The Turkish towel, or Peshtemal, has been a staple of Mediterranean life for centuries. Unlike heavy terry-cloth towels, our textiles are:

  • Artisanal: Woven in Denizli with the finest Turkish cotton.

  • Versatile: Perfect as a beach towel, a cozy throw, a baby wrap, or a stylish travel accessory.

  • Sustainable: Lightweight, fast-drying, and crafted to last for years, becoming softer with every wash.

Our Mission Based in the vibrant neighborhood of Porto, Turcooza is dedicated to sharing the wonderful culture of Turkish weaving with our community in Portugal and beyond. We believe in "Natural Care"—protecting the environment and the integrity of our fabrics through mindful practices.

Whether you are catching waves on the Silver Coast or enjoying a quiet sunset on your balcony in Porto, Turcooza is here to wrap you in comfort and heritage.
