A wide circle of colour to unroll at the water's edge. Slices of tomato, orange, kiwi, lemon, dragon fruit and watermelon print across the surface, so the towel reads as a bright patch on pale sand or a green lawn.

The fabric is fine polyester microfibre, smooth under bare legs and light enough to shake out and fold away when the day ends. A tassel fringe runs the full circumference, moving slightly in the breeze and softening the round silhouette.

At 150 cm across there is room to sit cross legged with a book, to lay out lunch, or to stretch out after a swim. It packs into a beach bag without weight, which makes it useful for poolside afternoons, park picnics and hotel terraces alike.

One printed round towel arrives with its tassel trim attached, ready for the first warm day.
