Unlike ordinary towels, Lagu repels sand, allowing you to lay with ease while also keeping the sand where it belongs - on the beach! It has quick-dry properties, keeping it fresh for repeated use.
Friendly to both you and the beach, Lagu is the only beach blanket you’ll need for your life on the sands.
The Lagu Story
By using Lagu, beach-goers can help keep sand on the beach instead of clinging to towels where they have washed away in laundry machines, never to be returned to the beach.
Since 2012, Lagu has helped thousands of beachgoers keep sand where it belongs, on the beach!
Now, Lagu is launching it’s first printed collection. Using our sand repellant fabric, we have 3 collections with designs that showcase some of nature’s beautiful marine creatures, tropical birds and plants. With your support, we'll be able to start mass production of this new collection and benefit marine conservation groups that do important work for the environment and endangered marine animals.
