There’s no place our towels won’t go–especially for a killer view and some swimming. Our Loïc towel (pictured, not currently in stock) is hanging out by the swimming pool Piscina Antilen atop the mountain in the middle of Santiago, Chile. Enzo, Zander, or Xavier are similar alternatives that are shoppable now.

Some images from our archive – a Deck Towel shoot on New York’s Shelter Island, 2010.

Enzo and Norbert towels are featured on the blog L’Ecume des Jours. How did they know we’re huge fans of Swissco toothbrushes?

Gilles, Martin, Pfips, Enzo, Hugo, and Daan Towels featured in HUGE Magazine. Check out our Japanese stockists here.

Enzo, Kees, and Hugo towels featured on the blog our first German stockist, Harvest. 

This is an excellent little shop in the Schwabing area of Munich.

We’re honored to have the Enzo towel make 101 Cookbook’s Favorite’s List for July. Right next to Horst P. Horst at Twombly’s villa in Rome!

How about a quick hello, and a favorites list today? I love pulling these together and I hope you’ll indulge me a bit. While you’re occupied, I’ll be in the kitchen diving into a couple new titles I picked up at Omnivore Books the other day – two real gems that I’ll likely highlight at some point soon. xo -h

I took the photo up above at a lovely lunch in St.Helena. We sat at an old farm table on a porch surrounded by vineyards (and chickens!) and good company. Hope to share a number of recipes from this lunch with you at some point.

We’re honored to be included on GQ’s Best Stuff of the Year List. The Boudewijn, Coen, Daan, Enzo, Hugo, and Kees towels are featured.

Best Stuff of the Year 2010

Turns out that working with a bunch of style obsessives and discerning tech-geeks has its perks. We asked, they delivered: From the coolest set of wheels on the market to a flat-screen slimmer than an iPhone, it’s everything a man could want. As for the Hawaiian surfer girl—you’re welcome

Our original five towels – Aloys, Boudewijn, Coen, Daan, and Enzo – featured on Daily Candy blog. Thank you to Jordan Blumberg for the post that started it all.

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.
