Know before you buy
Unlike plush terry cloth, this towel features a flat-woven jacquard design. It feels lighter and thinner, but it is highly absorbent and becomes softer and more supple with every wash.
Yes. Because of the tight, flat weave of the Turkish cotton, sand does not get trapped in the fibers. A quick shake is usually all it takes to clear off any debris before packing it away.
It is significantly thinner than a standard terry towel, allowing it to fold or roll down to a fraction of the size. It fits easily into a standard beach bag or carry-on without taking up excessive space.
Yes, the 100% organic Turkish cotton is designed to be breathable and moisture-wicking. It typically dries three times faster than a standard heavy cotton towel, which helps prevent that musty damp smell after a day at the beach.
To maintain its absorbency and softness, machine wash it in cold water and tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the towel's natural ability to absorb water.
