Know before you buy
Unlike bulky terry cloth, this towel is woven from long-staple Turkish cotton, making it significantly thinner, lighter, and faster-drying. While it feels different than a plush towel, it is highly absorbent and becomes softer and more pliable with every wash.
Yes, at 40" x 70", it provides ample coverage for lounging on the sand. Its flat-weave construction also makes it easier to shake off sand compared to traditional looped towels.
The tassels are a traditional design element and are durable, but they can tangle if washed with heavy items. We recommend washing on a gentle cycle and air drying to keep the fringe looking clean and intact.
Oeko-Tex certification ensures that every component of the towel has been tested for harmful substances. It guarantees that the textile is safe for human health and produced in an environmentally responsible manner.
When folded or rolled tightly, it is roughly the size of a burrito. Its low profile makes it an excellent choice for carry-on luggage, gym bags, or beach totes where space is at a premium.
