Kikoy is swahili for wrap. Blue Summer, a kikoy expert based in London, spans a variety of ethically made kikoy products, from the classic and XL beach & bath towel to this trendy, machine-washable Kikoy Picnic Rug, let alone adorable Kids and Babies lines.

Kikoys are chic towels for the beach, and they can also revamp your home bathroom. A perfect gift for a family.
