Remodelista New England Market Spotlight: 8knots

November 11, 2015

Years ago, as a world traveler for the textile industry, designer Marcia Bayard was introduced to the Turkish pestemal-woven cotton towels with hand-tied fringed that were an elemental part of the traditional Turkish bath experience. Bringing the tradition back to the States, she married these exotic bath linens with the breezy aesthetic of her native Shelter Island. Thus 8knots was born.

Starting with the original blue pinstriped pestemal, the collection now includes many nautical inspired designs. All are made from lightweight linens and cottons, making them both absorbent and quick drying.

To sample the pure luxury of 8knots bath linens, stop by Remodelista’s New England Market this weekend, November 14 and 15, at Lekker.
