Picture this: midsummer, midday heat, a few steps in your sandals across the hot sand, and you unfold a large, light, sunshine-yellow cotton towel at the edge of the beach. 100 × 180 centimetres is just enough room for two people to sit comfortably side by side, or for you alone to stretch out and read while the sea murmurs beside you.
The experience
Cotton is light, airy, and dries quickly — that is what sets it apart from a traditional terry towel, which soaks up water and stays damp for hours. Hung outside in the morning, it is ready for reuse by midday and fully dry by evening. The sunshine yellow brings warmth to a space even on overcast days — for a picnic, draped over a garden chair, or simply as a light cover for a soft summer evening in place of a blanket.
More than a beach towel
The 100 × 180 cm size suits more than the beach: use it as a garden mat with a flat picnic basket, as a relaxed pareo-style wrap over a swimsuit, or as a light cover for an afternoon nap on the terrace. It is machine-washable; the vibrant colour is durable, though it is worth running the first few washes at a lower temperature with similar colours.
Packable, portable, easy to pair
The 0.24 kg weight and the light cotton fabric also mean the towel takes up almost no space in a backpack, on a bicycle pannier, or in the boot of a car. It is a fine companion for a summer festival, a long hike, or even a shorter boat trip — unfolded anywhere, and if it gets wet, it is almost dry again within the hour in the sun. If you order several pieces in different colours, lined up on a shelf they can evoke the mood of summer all year round.
