Mendil Towel

Mendil Handwoven Cotton Towel

The Authenticity of Rif Mendil

At Maison Simona, we are committed to offering you objects that tell a story, that of artisanal know-how and a culture rich in traditions. Discover our woven cotton towel, inspired by Mendil, a textile typical of the Rif villages in Morocco.

Traditionally, the Mendil is much more than just a textile: it is an iconic clothing accessory for Rif women. In the villages of the Rif, these women use the Mendil in different ways. It is often slipped under their pompom hat to protect their neck from the sun, or tied at the waist over their pants. This fabric is a symbol of daily life and Berber culture, passed down from generation to generation.

Our towel is made of raw cotton, a natural material that combines softness, durability and respect for the environment. Hand-woven by artisans in Tangier, each piece reflects ancestral know-how and attention to detail. The unique texture of hand-woven cotton gives this towel an authentic yet elegant look, able to fit perfectly into various spaces in your home.

Versatile, this Mendil towel can be used in multiple ways. In the bathroom, it serves as a hand towel, adding a touch of authenticity to your decor. Take it to the beach and let yourself be enveloped by its softness after a sea bath, or use it as a table runner to embellish your meals. Its versatility makes it an essential accessory that brings charm and functionality to your daily life.

The small size can be used as a guest towel in an elegant bathroom, as a placemat for cozy meals or as a placemat to enhance a coffee table or piece of furniture.

By choosing this woven cotton towel, you directly support Moroccan artisans and contribute to the preservation of their traditions.

Give your home a touch of warmth and history with this Mendil towel, a handcrafted piece that combines tradition, style and functionality. At Maison Simona, we believe that every object has a soul, and this towel is the perfect example.
