Cotton beach towels are lovely right up until you’re packing one — damp, sandy and somehow now the size of a duvet — into a suitcase at the end of a beach day. Microfibre exists because of that exact moment.
Our Kids Microfibre Beach Towel does everything a child’s towel needs to do, without the bulk. The microfibre fabric is soft against skin, wicks water away quickly after a swim, and dries in a fraction of the time cotton takes — so it’s ready to go again by the afternoon session, and it goes back into the bag dry rather than damp.
At 70 x 140cm it’s properly sized for children, and at just 350g it’s light enough for little ones to carry in their own beach bag — which, in our experience, they insist on doing anyway. It packs down small enough to leave room in the suitcase for everything else, which is no small thing when you’re packing for a family.
It comes in two designs: a Mermaid for the under-the-sea dreamers, and a Whale for the marine biologists in training. Both are bright, fun and distinctive enough to spot instantly on a crowded beach — a feature parents come to appreciate more than they’d expect.
Brilliant for beach holidays, pool days, swimming lessons, splash parks and sleepovers — it’s the kind of towel that ends up being used all year round, not just for the fortnight away.
Why we stock it: Because kids’ beach kit should be light, practical and fun in that order, and this ticks all three. It’s also one of those small items that quietly makes packing easier — and making packing easier is rather the point of us.
Care: Machine washable. Wash before first use. Avoid fabric softener — it reduces microfibre’s absorbency over time.
