As you babes know I’m a frequent beach goer. Despite reminding myself at least a thousand times to grab a towel, I always forget one and realize it once I’m on my way. Not anymore! Now when I get ready for a beach day Briland Blu’s melon towel is the first thing I grab. It’s so freaking cute and light weight, making it an absolute must have. You can either wear it wrapped around your waist like a sarong or pack it in your bag. Personally, I enjoy wearing it as a cover up. The less things I have to worry or carry around the better! Plus the material is super soft and airy. With Miami’s weather already getting hot it’s important to have cover ups that don’t trap heat. I can happily say that this chic tye dye peshtamal kept me covered without feeling hot or constricted.

Briland Blu’s towels are more than just a cute cover up! Each towel is made with 100% Turkish cotton, which means not only are the towels light weight but they also contain the most absorbent weave. I had to test this out myself to believe that this soft light towel could actually dry me off. So I fully submerged my body into the water and came right out to my precious melon towel. I picked it up and started to pat myself dry. I was honestly surprised that it worked! I didn’t think that it would retain as much water as it did.

The first weekend I had the towel I immediately put it to use in the Florida Keys. I wore it each day I was there. I went back the following weekend and once again used it my entire stay. I’m always in and out of the water. So this towel got a lot of use. I was somewhat concerned that the natural dyes, which create the vibrant colors seen on the towel would fade. It didn’t at all. I’m honestly telling you that I’m obsessed! Finally, something cute and functional that keeps up with my crazy activities. I did notice one thing change from all the use, it got softer. That’s right, the towel continues to get deliciously softer with each use.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner! What better way to show your mom some well deserved love (and earn some brownie points) than by gifting her a Briland Blu towel. She won’t stop using it because it only gets softer with use. There is an assortment of colors to fit your mom’s, besties, abuela, or madrina’s style. Trust me they’ll be thanking you in the Summer.

Briland blu is the manifestation of Cristina Covert and her intense love of the sea. Growing up in the Florida Keys and spending time in the islands of the Bahamas, Cristina was inspired by the vibrant beauty of Caribbean beaches and waters. After graduating with a degree in Fashion Design from International Fine Arts College, Cristina began designing Turkish towels for herself. She could not believe she had spent so many years lugging around bulky terry towels that never seemed to really dry. Wanting to share her passion for the ocean and vision of the beach aesthetic, the decision to start a company took shape.

Briland blu is a lifestyle brand that is at once luxurious and comfortable, chic yet unpretentious. The name refers to one of Cristina’s favorite places. Briland is what the locals call Harbour Island in the Bahamas. The island is known for its breathtaking beauty and unassuming nature, with gem colored waters and pink sand beaches. Harbour Island welcomes its visitors with a sign reading “Home of the Friendly People”, while displaying a breezy Continental style. All of these aspects represent the brand and boutique Cristina envisioned.

Every towel design is handcrafted by Cristina in her Miami home studio. The Briland blu brand features products made with quality fabrics and designed with Cristina’s sense of tropical sophistication. The expanded boutique includes a carefully curated selection of merchandise and accessories, as well as future collaborations with exciting designers.
