Not sure whether to choose a striped or solid organic beach towel? We compare Coyuchi's Dawn Stripe, Morelia, Seabright, and Laguna options to help you decide.
Quick answer
For a classic stripe with dual textures, choose the Dawn Stripe Organic Beach Towel. If you prefer a bold pattern with maximum absorbency, the Morelia Organic Beach Towel is your pick. The Seabright Organic Beach Towel offers a flat-woven front with a plush terry back, while the Laguna Organic Beach Blanket provides an oversized option for group lounging.
Stripe vs Solid: What's the difference?
Stripe towels like the Dawn Stripe and Seabright offer a classic, coastal look that never goes out of style. Solid or patterned options like the Morelia bring a bolder, more artistic feel. Your choice comes down to personal style and how you plan to use the towel.
All Coyuchi beach towels are made from 100% organic cotton, so you don't have to compromise on sustainability. The main differences lie in the weave, texture, and pattern.
Texture and absorbency trade-offs
The Dawn Stripe and Morelia both feature a soft velour front and a looped terry back, giving you the best of both worlds: a comfortable surface to lie on and excellent drying power. The Seabright uses a flat-woven front with a plush terry back, which is lighter and dries faster but may feel less plush against the skin. The Laguna blanket has a smooth flat-woven face with a terry back, making it versatile for lounging and picnics.
