My grandma, Winnie, is the true designer of this garment, I just made some tweaks. As a child I remember her wearing her genius towelling beach skirt all summer. She would wander down to the beach in it, pop it over her shoulders to get her swimmers on, and wear it under the arms to dry off with a post-swim flask of tea and a ‘goodie’ (a biscuit to the rest of us).

Though hers was perhaps a little more naive in design, the concept is the same - We’ve got a stretchy waistband for easy on and off, over the shoulder and under the arm, but we’ve added a pocket with a popper for those days when you want to take nothing but your keys or phone.

When worn on the waist the towelling swimming skirt is near ankle length. When worn under the arms it comes to the knee and when worn on the shoulders, just above the knee - plenty of room for a full outfit change under there!
