1. Introduction to GSM in Towels
The history of towels dates to the 17th century in Turkey, where the first towels were woven from Turkish cotton for traditional Turkish baths, or hammams. These early towels were lightweight and absorbent, which made them ideal for the hot, steamy environment of the bathhouse. Now, the term "GSM" has come into play, letting us select towels with the perfect thickness, softness, and absorbency for our modern needs. Let’s explore GSM and its benefits—though we promise, it’s not as dry as it sounds!
