• Turkey grows and weaves the Aegean cotton that Western 'Turkish cotton' brands import — you're cutting out two middlemen
• Check GSM weight: 400-450 gsm is the plush hotel standard; very cheap robes are under 350 gsm and thin out fast
• A robe alone clears the 1,000 TRY tax-free threshold at chain stores that participate — ask for the form at the till
• Sizes run small vs US sizing — try on or size up
