Colors of Aloys
Some of the colors that inspired our Aloys towel, as seen in real life (and pinned to our Pinterest color boards).
Tenue de Nîmes
Aloys, Francis, and Gilles Towels featured on the blog of Tenue de Nîmes shop in Amsterdam.
“We are proud to stock the lovely products by Decktowel.
This New York based company sources the finest linens from all over the
world to create this summer’s ultimate accessory: a beach towel. Now,
we can hear you ask us: What makes these Decktowels so different from
any other towel I have in my closet?
Well,
..A Deck Towel is lighter.
..A Deck Towel is 20 times more absorbent.
..A Deck Towel dries more quickly.
..A Deck Towel won’t hold in sand.
..A Deck Towel grows softer with wear.
Check out the Aloys, Francis and Giles at our store in Amsterdam and online in our web-shop soon. Stay tuned.”

LAY OUT
Deck Towel
What:
Handmade Italian linens are big enough for a full
spread-eagle sprawl. Pick from faded stripes or saturated solids
evocative of the lazy summer we plan to have.
Why:
It might be Buck (recent Columbia grad who makes them) or the thought of
an evening spent listening to cicadas, but there’s just something
romantic about soft linen and warm months.
Where: Online at decktowel.com.
The Hansen Family
A nice feature of all nine of our towels on The Hansen Family blog.
We love these oversized deck towels from New York based designer Buck Ellison.
The colors and patterns are simple, pure and elegant at the same time.
A must have for this summer.
Check out their website !
Simple Song
All nine of our towels are featured on SimpleSong blog, with some particularly nice comments!
Pretty colors, fabrics + textured towels from Deck Towel. Perfect for summer. Gorgeous! We need these at our lake house … perfect summer post-swim wrap (and still chic.)
Selectism
Boudewijn and Coen towels featured on Selectism, in a very astute prediction of trends in good ol’ St-Trop!
So the trend in St. Tropez these days in to to lug around a big terry cloth towel to the beautiful sands. These days, the linen deck towel is what you rock. Simply wrap the linen towel around your head or waist. You will accessorize yourself instantly. From Deck Towel: “Our towels are light, compact, and sturdy. They don’t hold in sand or odors like cotton, and are both faster-drying and more absorbent. ” Choose from a variety of colors. Expect to drop about 100$US for one.
Sybaritic Monkey
Aloys, Boudewijn, and Coen towels are featured on Sybaritic Monkey blog. Thanks to Justin for highlighting just how versatile a Deck Towel can be.
2 or 3 Things I Know
Aloys, Daan, and Coen towels featured on 2 or 3 I Know. Thank you to Marin Academy alum and haiku-master Lee Cerre (possibly tipped off by Alex Edwards?) for the feature that started it all, and for taking the time to meet me for a lovely get-to-know-you dinner afterwards.
