Great product, efficiently delivered. We have one of these blankets ourselves, so it was an obvious choice when our son asked for a good beach blanket.

Written by the company

The Art of Drying Off. Founded by way of California and Hawaii in 2015, three friends started Slowtide as a product of their lifestyle. After spending long days at the beach, they realized that there was no towel that was both exciting and fit their daily needs; so they set out to create one. Dario Phillips, Kyle Spencer, and Wylie Von Tempsky left their corporate jobs to build a new canvas for art in the form of a towel. Inspired by all bodies of water and a love of art, Slowtide is a collaboration of three friends who wanted to convey their lifestyle through unique products.

Great product & Service

Great product - I really liked the colour and pattern. It was easy to order and arrived very promptly. Good service - would definitely go back and buy another when I need it.

Hi David, thanks so much for an awesome review. I hope you enjoy your purchase!

Amazing service

Amazing service. Sadly the initial purchase was unavailable. They contacted me apologising as it shouldn't have been on the site but they offered money back or to order another. I ordered another which was more and I offered to forward the difference but they said because it was their error there was no further charge. I have also had issues with the Royal Mail and delivery and they have been super supportive. Definitely recommend

Delighted with my purchase of Slowtide poncho

Delighted with my purchase of a quick dry changing poncho. The design is lovely (as depicted in advertisement) and the lightweight, quick dry material is soft, effective and washes easily.
Ordering was easy and delivery was very quick. I would recommend and buy again.

Thank you thank you thank you

Thank you thank you thank you! For working with someone in the US. My DIL sent us the hand towels and I loved them so much i found the bath towels on Nordstrom. But I wanted a second set and couldn’t find them in the US. Sarah was kind enough to work with me to bring these wonderful towels to the US. Great company. Great product. Great customer service.

I bought a beach rug for my daughter’s second (cotton) wedding anniversary. They are very pleased with it and are taking it on their celebratory holiday to Portugal on 1st July. They say it will also be used for picnics in the parks in London where they live.

Hi Ricky,

Thank you for your feedback on your product and we are disappointed to hear that the towel does not live up to our high-quality standards.

We would love to follow up with you to resolve this and my colleague will be in touch separately to assist.

Best wishes,
Slowtide Europe
