Soak in the sun with Cindy Crawford when you use this glamorous beach towel by Deer Dana. The 30" x 60" towel honors the American model by highlighting her most recognizable aesthetic.

Deer Dana is an NYC-based portrait drawing duo consisting of Kevin Tekinel and Dana Veraldi. For the group's latest work of art, the two creatives decided to honor legendary model Cindy Crawford with a simplistic, yet stylish beach towel. Paying homage without going overboard, the Cindy Crawford beach towel displays Crawford's famous beauty mark right above a motif of the model's lips which have been painted red. Underneath the lips is an image of a tube of red lipstick bearing the model's first name.

Just like Cindy Crawford, this beach towel is quite fashionable and very glamorous.
