The Towelkini is a beach innovation like no other. The silhouette is designed by Aria McManus and sold through Special Special's website. What makes the piece so special is its convenience-focused hybrid functionality.
Derivative from its name, the Towelkini searched to provide wearers with a common ground between towels and bikinis. As a result, individuals can easily wear the beach innovation for a walk along the coastline and lay down on a piece of cloth, whenever they deemed necessary. One can see the practicality in this as it omits the need to bring a towel which is especially appealing because that eliminates a significant amount of bulk.
Aria McManu's beach innovation is made available in Atheltic Gold and Hot Pink. The piece is made out of 100% cotton.
