Deck Towel towel featured on Frolic! blog.
Pretty linen towels that could be used for all manner of beach blankets, tablecloths, picnic blankets, and more.
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.

Air is better islanutor than water. When you fill the air pockets in the cloth with water, you have turned the cloth into a much better conductor of heat, when what you need is something that does NOT conduct the heat of the hot pan. Also, a wet cloth is slippery. The hot dish could slip right out of your hand and splash boiling juice all over you, burning you.
