Beatles Beach Towel | Beatles memorabilia

After a day of splashing at the beach, the well-groomed Beatles fan needed the perfect linen to blot his or her skin dry. And what better way to do so than with the Beatles Beach Towel!

The 35”x66” towel was adorned with “The Beatles” printed across the top, along with facsimile first-name signatures for each musician.

Continuing the fun in the sun, the towel was white and featured sketches of The Beatles in colorful, striped vintage men’s Victorian bathing suits, with the groovy “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” splashed across the lower section.

The sketches were made from photographs captured by band photographer Dezo Hoffmann on July 27, 1963.

NEMS licensed the decorative towel, and “NEMS Enterprise LTD” was imprinted in the lower left-hand corner. The actual towel was made by Windsor Textile Co. Inc. out of Chicago, then supplied to Towel Decorators for the Cannon Mills Company (founded in 1888 – located at 101 West First – Lake Drive, Kannapolis, North Carolina); labels printed for Cannon Mills Towel Decorators stated, ‘Made Expressly for Towel Decorators.’

One advertisement for the towel stated, “Jumbo ‘Beatles’ Beach Towel. 35”x66” cotton terry. Color printed Beatles pictures, autographs. $2.66.”
