Towels
Microfibre beach towels – absorbent and quick-drying
The towel designed for the beach and the pool
Our towels are printed on high-density microfibre — they absorb water in seconds, dry in no time, and fold away compactly into a beach bag. The designs are created in Roubaix, printed using sublimation and transferred onto our Monti Antonio 180T calender, installed in Plovdiv (Bulgaria) at our partner manufacturer’s premises.
Two sizes, two uses
The 70×140 cm is suitable for the pool, sport or children — compact, lightweight and ideal for a sports bag. The 80×160 cm is designed for the beach — large enough to lie down comfortably and keep the sand from sticking.
Exclusive designs, signed prints
Each design is an original illustration — Queen of Hearts, cherub, jellyfish. Printed using textile sublimation: the design becomes part of the fabric, won’t crack and withstands dozens of washes.
Microfibre: why it’s better than cotton
High-density microfibre absorbs up to five times its weight in water (cotton absorbs three times its weight). It dries in 20 minutes in the sun (cotton takes one to two hours). It folds flat into a bag. And it doesn’t scratch — provided you use a dense microfibre, not a low-end version.
A handy size for holidays
The UVEA towel folds down into a small rectangle that fits in a rucksack. Ideal for holidays, train or plane trips, and impromptu days out at the beach or playing sport. Its compact size makes all the difference when travelling.
A natural companion to ponchos and UV-protective clothing
The towel can be used alongside the UVEA poncho (to dry off before putting on street clothes) or on its own. The consistent design across towels, ponchos and swimwear allows you to create a signature beach ensemble — both practical and stylish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does microfibre really dry faster than cotton?
Yes. UVEA microfibre dries in 20 to 30 minutes in the sun, compared to 1 to 2 hours for a cotton towel. It also absorbs more water for the same weight — around 5 times its weight, compared to 3 times for cotton.
Which size should I choose?
70×140 cm for the pool, sports and children. 80×160 cm for the beach and adults — large enough to lie down comfortably.
Does the microfibre scratch?
No, not with high-density microfibre like ours. Lower-quality microfibre can be scratchy; our UVEA towels use dense microfibre that stays soft wash after wash.
Do the designs last?
Yes. Our towels are printed using sublimation on our Monti Antonio machines — the design becomes part of the fabric and withstands dozens of washes without cracking or fading.
How should I care for it?
Machine wash at 30 or 40 °C, air dry, no tumble dry on high heat, no bleach, no fabric softener (fabric softener reduces the absorbency of the microfibre).
Is it made in Europe?
Yes. Printed in France (Roubaix) and manufactured in Bulgaria. 100% European supply chain.
Production lead time?
