Fringe gives the towel a casual beach look without changing how it folds. It fitted over a pool chair nicely while I dried off.

From the other end of the lap pool, I could identify the red towel. The 150 by 70cm rectangle covered my lounger and the tassels made it look cheerful.

Beside my swimsuit, the lightweight towel fitted into a small tote. I used it after an early swim and spread it out to dry on arriving home.

One person has plenty of room on the 150cm length. I shook off loose sand before getting in the car and the red colour made packing up easy.

This left enough space in my bag for sunscreen and a spare shirt. The rectangular shape was practical for sitting, then wrapping around my shoulders afterward.
