About Us
A La Turca Textiles is the company that wholesales the world famous Thirsty™ Towels
& Bathrobes. We are a family owned and operated company with a manufacturing facility
in Turkey. Our US warehouse and office is located in Allentown, PA. We offer the
convenience of carrying inventory of most popular products in our 12,000 square
foot warehouse. Thousands of items are in stock at any given day. For manufacturing,
we believe in fair trade practices. Our workers are paid based on their qualifications.
Our employees are provided with shuttles that take them to the manufacturing plant
from their homes and back. They work 8 hours a day with a company provided lunch
and/or dinner depending on their shift as well as coffee breaks with complimentary
refreshments. Our female workers enjoy the benefits of having a three month fully
paid maternity leave. Even after they return to work, they may take paid time off
of up to two hours a day for breastfeeding. They also enjoy paid vacation every
year between 2 weeks to 6 weeks depending on their seniority. Our plant is ISO certified
and inspected every year to make sure we comply with international standards.
Quality
This is the most important part of our business. We realize that our livelihood
as well as our vendors' depends on our products. Each part of the manufacturing
process is comprised of multiple steps of stringent quality control. If a product
doesn't meet our standards, it will not make it beyond the factory and it certainly
doesn't carry the Thirsty™ Towels label. We periodically test our products for colorfastness,
tensile strength, dimensional strength and overall quality at internationally accredited
labs. We will be happy to provide any additional testing that our customers may
request for custom orders. All our 100% Turkish Cotton towels and robes are guaranteed
to stay absorbent and soft for as long as they are around.
Embroidery
We offer in-house embroidery services with state-of-the art Digitizing Software
and precisely engineered German ZSK Embroidery machines. Most logos are digitized
and embroidered within 48 hours. Please contact us at
info@alaturcatextiles.com for your logo inquiries. In order to provide you
with an accurate quote, please send a .jpeg or .gif file of your logo/design. Most
logos/designs are digitized for $50 or $75 dollars. The embroidery fee per item
will be provided upon determining the stitch count of the design. If you wish for
us to match to an exact color, please provide a Pantone number for the design. You
can also simply preview the thread colors in the individual product pages and make
your choice.

Minimum Order Quantities
For our vendors with tight storage allocation, we made it real easy to order. Minimum

order by the case. For bathrobes they are generally in cases of 4, 6, 10, and 12.
For towels, it varies by the towel dimension.
Custom Product Inquiries
Although we carry many different styles in stock, we realize you may not find what
you are looking for. We welcome new product inquiries by designers and buyers. Please
be advised that large quantities are generally required for customized towel dimension
and yarn composition. Nothing is out of question. Please ask and we'll let you know
if it is beyond our means.
