Design Conscious
Dock & Bay have been leaders in high quality, quick-dry beach towels and blankets since 2015. The company has created the “Doing Our Bit Collection,” a line of towels each with a charity collab-inspired design. A portion of proceeds from each towel sold goes to a great cause, such as Whale and Dolphin Conservation (as shown). Each towel is made from recycled materials (83 percent polyester, 17 percent polyamide) and dries three times faster than a standard cotton towel, so you can get more play time in and out of the water. dockandbay.com
