4 Luxurious Beach Towels to Cosy Up Your Long Weekend

With the long weekend just around the corner, there’s no better time to pack a stylish beach towel and head to the coast or a scenic lakeside spot.

Whether you’re soaking up the sun, enjoying a picnic on the grass, or simply catching up on a good book, a well-chosen beach towel adds both comfort and a touch of sophistication to your day. Here are four standout options, from Hermès’ timeless elegance and Cartier’s unmatched luxury to ZEGNA’s understated simplicity and Ralph Lauren’s iconic charm.

Hermès Escale à la Plage Beach Towel

The Hermès Escale à la Plage Beach Towel is a masterclass in sophistication. Its design channels the brand’s signature Chaine d'Ancre pattern, paying homage to the elegant anchor chains that inspired Robert Dumas in 1937 during his travels along the Normandy coast. This timeless motif has been reimagined by designer Mathieu Cosse, resulting in a towel that captures the serene beauty of chains resting on sunlit sand.

This season, Hermès introduces three new, vibrant colourways to keep things fresh. Made from premium cotton, the towel is impeccably soft, highly absorbent, and generously sized, making it as practical as it is stylish.

Cartier Panthère de Cartier Blanket

For those who appreciate dramatic elegance, the Panthère de Cartier Blanket is a true showstopper. The iconic leopard motif, which debuted in Cartier’s designs over a century ago, is reimagined here with bold contrasts of black, white, green, and red. This striking design adds a touch of glamour and makes it unmistakably Cartier.

Crafted from a blend of fine merino wool and cashmere, this blanket is as soft as it is luxurious. Perfect for lounging on the sand or as a chic wrap for cooler evenings, it’s a statement piece that blends art with functionality.
