As the days stretch longer and the sun lingers just a little later each evening, there’s one item that quietly becomes the hero of summer: the beach towel.
This season, Città’s latest release — the Abacus beach towel — captures everything we love about summer design with a muted three-tone palette that nods to retro seaside holidays. Designed in Auckland, New Zealand, by Imogen Tunnicliffe, Città’s in-house designer, it’s the kind of object that will be a staple to bring out year after year.
Each towel is woven from beautifully soft cotton, available in four reversible colourways: Mist/Paprika, Daffodil/Cream, Oyster/Kumara, and Rye/Tamarillo — they’re equal parts form and function.
Every summer, Città’s beach towels become something of a cult favourite, often selling out before the season’s end. And it’s easy to see why. They transform the simple act of a beach day — or a lazy afternoon in the backyard — into something a little more special.
Whether you’re gifting one for Christmas or rolling it up for your next coastal escape, this might just be the most versatile piece in your summer rotation. After all, when the heat hits, a beautiful towel isn’t just an accessory — it’s a summer essential.
