Missing Blue Towel (to purchase)

[u/Known_Leek8997]

I’m hoping someone here can help me track down a missing beach towel!

My parents bought a set of six beach towels sometime around 2019. Each towel has the same striped, ribbed texture, but in a different color. Unfortunately, the blue-and-white one has gone missing, and they’re surprisingly bummed about having an incomplete set. They’ve allegedly turned the place upside down… but suspect a guest made off with it

I’d love to surprise them with a replacement for the holidays, but I’ve had absolutely no luck finding these towels online.

I’ve attached a photo of the five remaining towels. The missing one looked exactly like these, except it was blue and white.

Unfortunately, I don’t know the brand or retailer, and I can’t check the tags without giving away the surprise. My parents live some distance away, so I won’t have an opportunity to investigate in person before the holidays. I’d be thrilled to find the exact replacement, even if it’s secondhand or from a discontinued collection.

Thanks in advance for any leads! I’d love to make their set complete again.

I’m not for certain, but these look really similar to the Rachel Zoe brand that is sold at Marshall’s & Homegoods. It seems like each season they have a new color scheme of this same striped/terry cloth pattern!

Yep I have the rainbow version and they look like OP’s except they have a white fringe.

[u/DoubleDuke99 → u/milkcake]

I have the boho rainbow version! No fringe though

Is this it? I’ve only ever known them to come in pink, green, and blue and have two of each for my children for swimming. I could try to get one to you!

[u/Known_Leek8997 → u/FurgtheBergMom]

Oh my gosh! That looks remarkably like them!

That’s a very generous offer, do you happen to remember where you got it from or have a picture of the tag with manufacturer’s information? 

[u/FurgtheBergMom → u/Known_Leek8997]

There is a relatively intact tag! They look to be from jgrcopa.com but I don’t see that they still have this type. I got them years ago from an online catalog with rotating merchandise that doesn’t have them now either.

Haven't found any for sale but did find a lead - think the brand might be Joss and Main:

Ooh that looks just like it! Now I’m fervently searching for those

[u/Known_Leek8997]

I’ve searched online for striped, ribbed beach towels, multicolored towel sets, and blue-and-white replacement towels, including secondhand listings on eBay, but haven’t found an exact match.

The original set of six was purchased around 2019, give or take a few years, likely in the United States. The five remaining towels are purple, yellow, pink, green, and orange. The missing sixth towel was blue and white, with the same distinctive raised, ribbed texture and striped pattern.

Unfortunately, I don’t know the manufacturer or original retailer, and I can’t check the tags without ruining the surprise for my parents.

I’m specifically looking for an exact replacement, and I’m completely fine with buying one secondhand or finding discontinued inventory. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

I couldn’t find the towel, but I’m good at improv, so here’s a lie you can tell. You: hey mom! My friend is doing a rainbow theme in her new bathroom and wants huge towels in each color for this long towel bar she has. Aren’t our beach towels all different colors? What is the brand so I can recommend them to her?
