Born from a Travel Frustration

Dock & Bay was founded in 2015 in London by Andy Jefferies and Ben Muller. Both had the same problem when travelling: towels that were too big, too heavy and took forever to dry. The first prototype was made from curtain fabric and paper strips. The concept: a towel that dries fast, is lightweight and still looks great.

Material and Function

Since 2021, all Dock & Bay towels are made from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic. The microfibre material dries three times faster than cotton, is sand-resistant, odour-resistant and packs down small.

Investment from Dragons’ Den

In 2017, Jefferies and Muller presented Dock & Bay on the British TV show Dragons’ Den. Deborah Meaden invested £75,000. It was a validation: the product works, the market is there.

Colours, Patterns, Style

The range includes beach towels, quick-dry towels, swim shorts and travel accessories in a wide colour palette. The designs are clean and timeless, with patterns that suit the beach as much as the pool.
