Willow Beach Towel

100% cotton beach towel

Absorbent, quick-drying beach towels with a classic checkerboard design.
Made with pure soft cotton and featuring a striking textural weave.

The design of the Willow Beach Towel

Inspired by an antique handloom weaving design, the ‘Willow Weave’ has been a long-standing Mungo favourite. Now we’ve taken the design to new heights, introducing three bold and brilliant beach colours: Jellyfish, Urchin and Sea Star.

The Willow Beach Towel is based on a 17th-century hand weaving pattern. Tried, tested and tweaked by our Master Weaver, Stu, and reimagined into something contemporary for our looms.

The Willow Weave’s characteristic checkerboard is created by an overshot technique, where the weft threads ‘float’ above the warp for a uniquely textural and decorative effect.

The Feel of the Willow Beach Towel

Light. Lofty. Soft to the skin.
With a slightly textured touch created by the weft floats.

Woven from 100% African-grown and spun cotton at the Mungo Mill in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa.

Designed by a Master, brought to life on our looms.
Classic yet contemporary. And woven to last.
