      Tawulo Towel

      Tow-oo-loh

      The Tawulo is a pure cotton towel that’s perfectly at home on the beach or in the bathroom. One of the unique characteristics of the Tawulo is that no two are exactly the same, due to the random rolling of the weft on the loom.

      The beautiful muted tones of the Tawulo range blend beautifully into many interiors while adding texture and tone to your bathroom. Also a brilliant beach or swimming towel.

      Hemmed with a hanging loop.
