The Dolphin Pouch
Sewn from a single beach towel. This is the towel's own account of how that happened.
“My name's Finn. I am a retro family beach towel.”

Chapter one
My first life
- Past life
- A family beach towel
- From
- Mellieħa Bay, Malta
- Era
- 1980s
Started life as a family beach towel, listening to children play and the sound of the waves. Stored away at the end of each season and teased out again when the warm summer air moved in. This retro design pops with colour and summer vibes. One of Xuga’s first products; lovingly handmade by Grace.
Chapter two
Becoming something new
The towel The piece Cut, sewn and finished by Grace in March 2026.
Nothing was thrown away that still had use left in it. Drag the handle to see the towel become the piece.
Chapter three
What I saved
Choosing this towel over new fabric kept real weight out of the world's water and air. The figures are estimated from the towel's weight and average new-cotton production, and labelled honestly.
Estimated impact, not a precise measurement. Honest numbers beat tidy ones.
Chapter four
One of one
There is exactly one of me.
