Why are microfiber beach towels the go to for South Africans?

South Africans love spending time at the beach, but we don’t love the daily hassle of dripping wet, heavy towels clogged with sticky sand. As a South African family business, we set out to create premium beach towels that truly suite a busy outdoor lifestyle.

Extensive research led us to suede microfiber as a standout non-negotiable for the towel of the future. Our specially sourced microfiber suede has an extremely soft, luxurious feel to it plus you would never guess that it has been exclusively manufactured from recycled plastic bottles.

Trustworthy convenience is at the heart of our collection. We want you and your family to enjoy high quality beach towels too.

Here are some of the key benefits that make this choice of towel the right one:

  1. Luxurious and soft texture

Microfiber is so soft on the body, there are no rough threads of skin irritation because of the loop-less technology that we use in the RPET recycled process. The gentle silkiness makes them the perfect companion at the beach, the pool and while traveling.

  1. Highly durable

Living in South Africa means we are out in sun all year round, which is ideal for microfiber towels as they are extremely durable thanks in part to the tightly woven threads that create a reliable, resilient finish.

  1. Maximum absorbency

Suede microfiber is recognized as being more absorbent than everyday cotton. The suede microfiber of our towels is responsible for this increased absorption rate. A quick pat dry with a saltii towel and you’re ready for the next adventure.

  1. Extremely light weight & compact

Ever bought yourself a beautiful towel, dry yourself and suddenly realise the weight has more than quadrupled and your arm starts aching as you carry the bag home after a long day in the sun. Exhausting right? Suede microfiber is extremely light weight and compact, dramatically contributing to its appeal. You’ll barely notice the weight of our towels, wet or dry.

  1. Zero damp smell

Our towels do not retain smell because they are antibacterial thanks to their loop-less fiber structure. If you’re on the beach or traveling and need to put your damp towel in a bag you don’t need to worry about funky weird smells when you eventually take it out.

  1. Quick drying

Saltii suede microfiber towels dry 4 x faster than traditional cotton towels which means you can have a dip in a pool numerous times in a day and keep drying yourself with a dry towel, how epic is that? By the time you’ve dried yourself and got back in the water it’s already dry!

  1. 100% Recycled

 Saltii microfiber suede towels are made from 100% recycled plastic water bottles, it’s a soulful way to turn something destructive into something functional and beautiful.

It’s the main reason we started saltii - to create some beautiful with an eco conscious mind.
