Made for the Planet

Every MAHĀNA towel is made from recycled polyester blended with nylon — giving new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfill. By choosing recycled fibres, we reduce our reliance on virgin plastics without compromising on performance. Our waffle weave construction uses less material than a traditional terry towel, and because MAHĀNA towels dry faster and pack smaller, they naturally leave a lighter footprint — on the planet and in your bag.

Care Instructions

Machine wash cold with like colours. Hang to dry — your MAHĀNA towel will dry quickly thanks to its waffle microfibre construction. Avoid tumble drying, ironing, and bleach. Your towel will soften with every wash.

Whether you're chasing waves, crossing borders, or discovering a new coastline — the Wanderer is built to keep up. Inspired by open roads and the spirit of adventure, crafted to last the journey.

Frequently asked questions

Is this beach towel good for travel?
It's designed for it. The Wanderer rolls down to roughly the size of a reusable drink bottle and weighs a fraction of a terrycloth towel, so it fits in a backpack or carry-on — and dries fast enough to pack up shortly after use.

Is it really sand-free?
Yes. The waffle-weave microfibre has a smooth, tightly woven surface that sand can't work into, unlike the looped cotton fibres of a terrycloth towel. Give it a shake and the sand falls straight off.

What is the Wanderer towel made of?
80% rPET (recycled polyester) and 20% nylon, woven into a 390gsm waffle microfibre. Each towel is made from around 30 post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.

How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold or 30°C with like colours and hang to dry. Avoid tumble drying, ironing, bleach and fabric softener — softener coats the fibres and reduces absorbency.
