Deck Towel featured on I’m Revolting blog.
Just got a note from Deck Towel about their new linen towels (in extra-fine, middle weight, and heavy), and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. K.C. and I have been obsessing over Turkish towels lately — these are just the right size for the beach, for a tablecloth, for wrapping around your shoulders on a suddenly breezy night.
Deck Towel makes the original linen beach towel in New York City. Sewn from European linens, they're light, strong, and compact. Unlike bulky cotton towels, our towels repel sand, hold twenty times their weight in water, and dry in a snap. At 70 x 57”, a Deck Towel is sized to accommodate two sunbathers but folds to the size of your beach read. When it gets colder, it becomes your favorite bath towel, bedspread, picnic blanket, tablecloth, or shower curtain. Read more about the benefits of linen towels.
Our first collection was inspired by a 1930s photograph of five Belgian soldiers bathing in the Meuse River, by imagining the sort of materials and patterns they might have used to dry off. Read more about our collections in the press.
