Time is Running Out to Save Coral Reefs

The Queen's youngest son, Prince Edward, says we don't have long to save the world's coral reefs. Edward tells WBR that the global fishing industry is having a negative impact on coral survival, and so is global warming. The world's leading coral scientists met at St James's Palace in London, to discuss what can be done.

Why We Love Turkish Towels - The Riviera Towel Company

Why We Love Turkish Towels

We love Turkish Towels because of their beautiful textile designs as well as their versatility.  I discovered Turkish Towels during a summer trip to Europe where I noticed that locals were using thin, soft, beautifully colored towels while at the beach.  They not only brought one towel, but they brought several. Europeans tend to spend the entire day at the beach, so they will often bring multiple towels, coverups as well as a change of bathing suit.  After much research I found artisans in Turkey that are dedicated to the original craft of creating these unique textiles.  I worked with them to create the best designs and fabrics to sell direct to our clients at prices not typically seen in the home textile market, all while maintaining a high level of quality and design.  Here are our top reasons why we think Turkish Towels are not only stylish and fashionable, but oh-so practical... Turkish towels dry much quicker than terry towels Terry towels absorb water, where as turkish cotton pushes water from your skin. Turkish weaves are tighter and therefore resist mold and mildew. They can be rolled tightly, which makes them them ideal for packing They the best travel companion, as they are so versatile and can be used as a wrap or blanket on the plane, a stylish scarf or sarong, and of course as your beach towel They can be embroidered for reasonable cost and make great VIP gifts, add style to corporate events and give your brand a colorful presence.  We hope you will love our Turkish Towels as much as well do!  Also, please know that every sale helps save the ocean! :) xo  Shannon
