A Toast to TOAST

Today we’re going coast to coast for a peek at TOAST, a Britain-based design company that never fails to inspire. These super-chic striped Hammam towels are currently available for 19 pounds (about $32 USD), and we adore the Lindos cushion cover that’s sized to any shape. Their organic napkins, sold in sets of six, are perfect for any summer home or porch picnic. Thankfully, all their goods are available online, so no jet setting necessary. For that, we’d like to propose a TOAST.

Towels for all to Enjoy

With one of our favorite holidays, the 4th of July, quickly approaching we are all scrambling to make plans, organize cookouts, and if you are like us you are inviting yourselves to each and every beach house we know of to guarantee at least a few hours in the sun. While being a guest at someone’s home brings fun and excitement it also can be stressful to find the perfect hostess gift to show your appreciation for their hospitality.

Well look no further, we are obsessed with the Founta Collection from the company Scents and Feel cotton towels. They are perfect for the beach, park, have even as summer towels in a guesthouse. Available in a wide range of amazing colors and priced at around $50 they make a perfect for any occasions. Check them out online or at the great new store Haus Interior located at 250 Elizabeth Street. We guarantee you and your host will become as obsessed as we are!!

Artware

If you thought the bikini was summer’s reigning accessory, think again! Artware Editions has collaborated with some of our favorite artists to produce a limited-edition series of oversized beach towels, each acting as a canvass for a work of their creation. The innovative Artware gallery located in the West Village specializes in these partnerships, producing utilitarian design and home ware products that also reflect the artist’s larger body of work.

The towel series is a perfect example of their concept: an exciting merger of beauty and function. The seductive summer shades in this Ed Ruscha towel are perfection for any pool party, and wrapping yourself in this Julian Schnabel will have onlookers agape! So don’t attend summer’s first soiree without one in your beach bag. Or, at $50 apiece, they make the perfect gift of wearable art to celebrate the season’s start!
