Timeless Towels by Laura Thomas Linens

My new Timeless Towels are here with a bang for Summer 2016.

So what inspired me to design and source them?

Well, during the summer months when you spend more time outdoors there is always a need for a handy textile.  In my case that’s on the beach, where we head for afternoon swims and bonfire suppers.

Other uses include; an outdoor picnic in the park, a light summer towel to take on holiday that dries easily and fits in your handbag and hand luggage, a mat to sit on at an outdoor concert, a shawl to take away the chill of dining alfresco, a swim towel for the local pool for school holiday entertainment, a picnic in the park blanket, a beach mat, a blanket to cosy under while sitting in the garden with a mate drinking wine, the list and ways of using these ‘Timeless Towels’ is truly endless.

You might have noticed that this is the first time I have introduced colour into my designs (expect more).  Light pink and grey are a fantastic combination.  Classic and timeless, my 100% cotton towel will wear well for summer seasons to come.

My girls and I tried them out on a two week Easter Holiday in Portugal.  Used and used and I was pleased to say that after 14 days of beach and pool action they were in the same condition as when we had arrived.  That’s when I knew I was on to something.  Like all my products, durability is an important factor to me.  Products have to last.  I don’t want the LT brand to become a throw away label where you purchase a product, only use it a few times before it’s no longer in good condition.  LT products will last.

I designed them and sourced a wonderful factory in Turkey to weave them.  They are 100% fair-trade and it was a wonderful experience dealing with a turkish textile business that was so easy going and willing to please.
