The Christy story stretches all the way back to 1850, when its Manchester cotton mill began weaving the softest bath towels the world has ever seen. From that day, it's been filling homes with unmistakably British products, designed with love and made to last. Fun and family-friendly, the College Stripe beach towel is an instant holiday classic. Yarn-dyed, the design is a contemporary take on a British coastal aesthetic, echoing the past in a most modern way with a vertical variegated stripe. Finished with a fringing, just like a traditional Hammam towel, it's constructed with a light yet comforting 500 GSM, with a smooth velour and a terry weave on the reverse.
