Design story

Wild west meets waterfront.

Hankerin’ for a Struttin’ is for the river-floatin’, pool-splashin’, beach-strollin’ cowpokes who traded their spurs for flip-flops and their lassos for pool noodles.

The print leans western with a laid-back, by-the-water twist, because sometimes the best rodeo is watching the sun drop with wet hair and margarita breath.

Stuff people ask us

Frequently Asked Questions.

Everything you need to know about the towel you’re about to take absolutely everywhere.

01 What makes Happy Faced towels different?

Happy Faced towels are made for sweat, dirt, sand, water, workouts, road trips, beach days, and wherever else you end up. They’re lightweight, absorbent, quick-drying, easy to pack, and covered in original artwork instead of hotel beige.

02 What are they made of?

Magic. Well, almost. They’re made from high-performance microfiber containing 88% recycled materials. It’s soft, highly absorbent, lightweight, durable, and built to dry much faster than a bulky cotton towel.

03 Do they dry fast?

Very. The microfiber construction spreads moisture across more surface area, helping the towel release water and dry considerably faster than a traditional cotton towel.

04 Are they good for travel?

Absolutely. Happy Faced towels are lightweight, compact, quick to dry, and easy to stuff into a carry-on, backpack, gym bag, van, or questionably packed weekend bag.

05 Can I use one at the beach?

That’s one of their natural habitats. The smooth microfiber construction is sand-resistant, so sand shakes off more easily instead of following you home and moving into your car permanently.

06 Are they eco-friendly?

They’re made with 88% recycled materials and require less space, water, and energy to wash and dry than a heavy cotton towel. They’re also designed to last, because replacing your towel every few months is dumb.

07 Do they resist odors?

Their fast-drying construction gives moisture and mildew less time to settle in. Hang the towel up between uses and it stays fresher much longer than a damp cotton towel abandoned in a heap.

08 Are they machine washable?

Yep. Machine wash cold with similar colors and tumble dry low or hang dry. Skip the bleach, dryer sheets, and fabric softener because they can coat the fibers and reduce absorbency.

09 What sizes do they come in?

Small, Medium, and Large. The Small is great for workouts and daily carry. The Medium handles travel, surfing, and everyday use. The Large gives you full beach-towel coverage and enough room to become a human burrito. See the towel size guide for the full breakdown.

10 How much water can they absorb?

More than four times their own weight in water. Which is impressive for something that packs down small enough to stop ruining the rest of your bag.

She is smiling and looking toward the ocean, with the bright blue sea and white-capped waves stretching into the horizon. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds, creating a vibrant and peaceful beach atmosphere.
