Dock & Bay: Towels That Dry Faster
Frog washcloth
This frog-patterned washcloth made from recycled waffle fabric makes washing up fun for kids. The soft material is gentle on the skin, absorbs well, and dries quickly. Measuring 25 by 15 cm, it fits comfortably in little hands and is machine washable at 30 degrees.
Dock & Bay
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.
