Frequently Asked Questions

Yes our microfiber towels feel different! The silky soft smooth suede feel makes it hard to believe they will actually dry you! Well believe us they do! You will need to give your towel a few washes though before you use it. The more you wash the fabric, the more absorbent it gets!

Suede microfiber acts more like a chamois though, so rather than rub yourself dry, we find a patting action works best. When you simply hold the towel against any wet surface you will feel the water absorb into the fabric instantly!

Suede microfiber is very different to cotton and standard microfiber towels as there is no loop at all in the fabric. As the surface is completely flat and smooth, there is nothing for sand, seaweed or any other things to stick to your towel!

When the towels are soaking wet you’ll notice some sand sticks but give this sand free beach towel a good shake and most of it will come off. Any small sand particles that remain will all come off completely as the towel dries!

Unlike any other microfiber or cotton towel, ‘suede’ microfiber is thinner which is what makes it much lighter, more compact and quicker to dry that any other cotton or microfiber towels.

After a few washes, suede microfiber is also incredibly absorbent, patting you dry in seconds.

The tight weave of the fabric is also what makes gives it a completely flat, loop-free surface which is what makes it more resistant to sand. This is also what gives it a luxuriously silky soft feel, unlike other standard microfiber towels that have that ‘sticky’ feel that most people don’t like.

BEACH TOWELS, BATH TOWELS 

• Please machine wash before first use separately in a cool gentle wash cycle, no hotter than 30°c
• We recommend air drying rather than tumble drying as the heat can melt the microfibers. This will affect the absorbency of the fabric over time.
• Avoid using fabric softeners as this may also affect the long term performance of the fabric
• We recommend avoiding contact with rough surfaces and this can catch the stitching and cause it to fray. 
• We also suggest towels aren’t hung from their hanging loop for extended periods in strong winds as this can cause the fabric to tear.

Utilizing Afterpay is extremely expensive as they take from 6% of the total sale. We currently work really hard to offer the best possible pricing options to our customers. If we added Afterpay, we would unfortunately be forced to increase our pricing, so we have made the conscious decision not to do this. We understand we may lose some sales but we hope our customers appreciate the benefit of more affordable pricing over the option of a Buy Now Pay Later service. 

All orders are processed immediately so most of the time we generally can’t accept cancellations or changes to orders already placed but please reach out via our contact us page and we’ll try our best to cancel or make updates to the order for you.
