Our story

Our story St. Augustine, FL

WOVEN IN TURKEY. ROOTED IN FLORIDA.

Salt Rag brings Turkish cotton towels to an East Coast kind of day. Hand-loomed in Kayseri, Turkey, and rooted in St. Augustine: full-size cloth, good color, and less to carry.

01 / Florida

An East Coast kind of day.

St. Augustine is home. A morning surf, a stop at the beach, a swim off the boat: a towel is worth keeping close when the water is never far away.

Beach bag, boat gear, back seat. A Rag belongs with the things you keep ready, not the things that turn a day out into a packing job.

02 / Kayseri, Turkey

Hand-loomed in Kayseri.

The Florida roots don’t change where the cloth comes from. Each Rag is hand-loomed in Kayseri, Turkey, from Turkish cotton. The flat weave keeps the fold small; the pattern and knotted fringe give you a reason to leave it open.

03 / The market table

Meet us across the table.

A screen can show you a color. The market table lets you feel the difference. Unfold a Rag, compare a few, ask us about the weave. Dates and locations can change, so check the current schedule before you go.

Keep a Rag close.

Not every day needs a plan. A towel in the bag leaves you ready for a swim, a stop at the beach or a seat in the shade.
