Découvrir les foutas, serviettes de plage aux multiples usages - Label Naturel

The fouta became theessential accessory of the summer season. This beach towel is ideal for strolling by the water, used as a towel or as a pareo, elegantly tied around the waist. With Label Naturel, discover how our range of foutas meets all your desires.

What is a fouta? Focus on its origins and qualities

The fouta or foutah is originally from India. It was originally used as pants, turban or even apron. This versatile piece of fabric was discovered by a Moroccan explorer, Ibn Battûta. This is how this fabric arrived in the Maghreb, and more particularly in the hammams in Tunisia. It is with this country that we often associate this accessory which then spread all over the world. It is made of cotton, linen or bamboo. For centuries, it has been used as Bath towel, beach towel or even as a shawl.

What are the differences between fouta, beach towel and beach towel?

The differences between fouta, beach towel and beach towel mainly lie in their composition and use.

The fouta is versatile and practical. Light, resistant and absorbent, it can be used both after swimming, to dry off, and as a fashion accessory, such as a pareo. Its thinness is also interesting for using it as a picnic blanket, or as a Blanket lightweight to protect from the sun.

For his part, the beach towel is thicker and heavier. It allows you to lie down on the sand, in a thick and comfortable fabric.

Finally, the beach towel is smaller and more absorbent. We appreciate it for drying off after a swim.

Thus, fouta offers a wide range of uses. It's a essential accessory for summer, which will follow you in your moments of relaxation at the water's edge, as well as during your picnics in the forest.

Why choose a fouta as a beach towel?

Choosing fouta as a beach towel means:

1. Appreciate its versatility: As we saw above, foutas can be used as a beach towel, pareo, picnic blanket, Blanket beach towel or even scarf. They can be used in many situations, which is very pleasant on a daily basis.

2. Take advantage of its lightness: The foutas are naturally light and compact. This makes them easy to carry and store in a beach bag. Between space saving and lightness, the fouta is very popular!

3. Benefit from rapid drying: Our foutas are made of pure cotton. This material has the advantage of dry quickly. Their use is therefore perfect for outings to the beach or swimming pool.

FAQs

What is the difference between a fouta and a beach towel?
A classic beach towel is generally thicker and heavier, while the fouta remains thin, light and multi-use. It dries quickly and can be used as a sheet, sarong or tablecloth, making it a more versatile accessory.
How to properly maintain a fouta?
To maintain its softness and colors, wash it at 30 or 40°C on a delicate program. Avoid fabric softener, which reduces absorption, and favor natural air drying. A first wash alone with a little salt can help fix the dyes.
What weight is ideal for a beach fouta?
A weight between 180 and 300 g/m² offers the right balance: thick enough to be absorbent, but light enough to remain practical to carry and quick to dry.
Why choose a certified fouta Oeko-Tex® ?
Certification Oeko-Tex® guarantees that the textile does not contain substances harmful to health. It is also a guarantee of compliance with quality and safety standards for daily use with complete peace of mind.
How to wear a fouta as a pareo or beach dress?
To wear it as a pareo, simply wrap it around the waist and tie the two ends in front. In the beach dress version, fold it at the height, wrap it around the bust and tie one corner over the other for a simple and elegant hold.
What size fouta to choose?
The classic size of a fouta is approximately 100 × 180 cm, ideal for individual use. For more comfort or for sharing, the XXL models (150 × 250 cm) are perfect as a tablecloth, Blanket picnic or beach towel for two.
