There comes a time in life when you've had enough of common or garden beach towels. Scratchy little rectangles of threadbare cotton that barely cover your modesty and should have been donated to the dog years ago. If you're in the market for a whole lot more luxury, these oversized jacquard beach towels from Pendleton are the ultimate upgrade. Measuring a whopping 102 x 178cm, they're made in a deliciously soft and absorbent cotton velour – sheared on one side and looped on the other. They’re so decadent and good-looking that they might just end up usurping your bath towels as well.
The history of Pendleton Woollen Mills is a tale that is woven into the history of modern America. It is a story that began over 150 years ago, with the entrepreneurial spirit of British weaver Thomas Kay.
Kay reopened the historic Pendleton Woollen Mill, which produced trade blankets for the Native American tribes of the Columbia River and the Southwest. Initially, the company emulated the multicolour striped patterns of the famous point blankets produced by the Hudson’s Bay Company. But after designer Joe Rawnsley visited the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni tribes, they pioneered the introduction of stunning Native American-inspired designs, which became coveted and much-prized heirloom pieces.
Today, Pendleton continues to set the standard for American style. With six generations of family ownership, its textiles are infused with authenticity, heritage and craftsmanship – all still proudly designed and woven in the USA.
