Annabel Trends | Sand Free Towel | Shelly Beach

 

Annabel Trends Sand Free compact towels are great for the beach or pool, without the weight of a regular towel. They are made from suede like microfibre, are quick drying, and absorbent. Sand won't cling and the towels have an elastic loop for holding the towel firm when rolling up which is also handy for hanging to dry. Takes up very little room in your bag or car.

About Annabel Trends

Back to 1966 Where it all began

Annie Dawe dreamt up ideas for the home back in 1966… bright 60’s colours, bold patterns and innovative kitchen napery emerged from her own kitchen table, all those years ago. Gradually over the years, Annie explored new niche markets so that Annabel Trends has become what it is today - a family company dedicated to supplying the marketplace with giftware that sets trends, with strengths in design, colour, practicality and presentation.

History
