The towel

The Towel x Scars from Above

More than a merchandise towel.

This beach towel is part of a story that begins far from the shoreline. It is linked to the work of Whale Wise, whose researchers spend their days on open water studying whales in their natural world. Each towel helps support this work and keeps their research moving, turning an ordinary day at the beach into something that carries meaning.

Made from recycled polyester, it is light to pack and quick to dry, designed for long hours by the sea. More than a merchandise towel, it holds a quiet reminder of the life beneath the surface and the people working to protect it.

Materials

  • 100% recycled polyester
  • Made in China

Impact

Each towel contributes directly to Whale Wise and their ongoing research into whale behaviour, health and the pressures whales face. This support helps their team gather data, engage local communities and deepen understanding of the marine environment.

Project Supported

Whale Wise is a research-led organisation focused on studying whales and how they interact with a changing environment. Their work brings together science, education and community engagement to support informed conservation.
