I love hearing about new and upcoming designers and companies, especially when they are local. Enter Sand Cloud Apparel, a company started by three friends – Brandon, Steven and Bruno – right here in sunny San Diego (Pacific Beach to be exact). They created the Sand Cloud beach towel (pictured above), where the idea of a comfortable pillow combined with a towel was born out of sheer necessity: one of the founders got tired of using his backpack as a makeshift pillow while napping on the beach.
The Sand Cloud towel is the perfect combination of comfort and portability. The towel itself 35″ x 60″, and is made of a 100% hand-woven Turkish cotton, which is completely eco-friendly. The towel is lightweight and machine washable, which gets softer with every wash. If you pull the pillow out, it can even be used as a sarong. Finally, the company gives back by donating 10% of their net profits to benefit several foundations that support the preservation of Marine Life.
We took our Sand Cloud towel out to the park over the weekend, and after my niece and son enjoyed some time on it before heading out to play, my husband took full advantage by stealing a little shut-eye!
If you want to help get this great new product funded, you can do so by contributing to the Sand Cloud Kickstarter campaign (I’m also a backer). Also connect with them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and keep in touch with how they’re doing. Thank you to the folks at Sand Cloud for allowing us to enjoy this great new product, and hopefully they get their full backing!
The Sand Cloud towel fit perfectly in my little tote bag, along with some toys and my hubby’s sandwich. Love the portability!
Dominic took a walk with my hubby, so Mei-Lin tried it out and really liked the built-in pillow. She now wants one for herself!
Once the kids went to play at the park, Deon decided it was time to test out the pillow after an afternoon snack. The verdict? He said he fell right asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Talk about comfy!
