Get ready for summer vibes with a beautiful beach towel or beach blanket! These stunning, handwoven pieces are the result of a collaboration with Weavers in Cambodia, and we have been busy experimenting with different thicknesses in both the towel itself and the individual threads.
The beach blanket in the photos in this post are slightly thicker and sturdier than a Turkish towel, so you are in for a warm, comforting hug, when you get out of the water. Plus, it is thick enough to lay directly on the sand, perfect for those beach days when you don’t have a sun lounger handy.
Weavers has also crafted another, slightly lighter, type of beach towel (see selection below this post). The thinner fabric effortlessly drapes around your body like a sarong or a large scarf, and its lightweight nature makes it a breeze to carry in your beach bag.
Both types of beach towels are just the right size for a standard sun bed. They are 100% cotton, which makes them very absorbent, and they dry quickly in the sun.
Weavers Project was founded by Sonas and the Meas family with the purpose of creating sustainable, economic, growth in rural communities in Cambodia. Cambodia has a strong tradition of weaving, but it is a dying craft due to the competition from cheaper, factory-made fabric as well as the declining interest among the young generation in learning the skills of weaving.
Weavers Project is looking to change that. By providing training in weaving, they do not only offer a source of income to people in rural communities, but also a hope for a brighter future for the weavers and their families. The weavers are included in the entire process from the design of the items and dyeing of the yarn, to the final product, and this inclusion sparks professional pride, empowerment, and motivation, which shows in the beautiful patterns and color combinations that are truly unique for Weavers Project.Â
