New Day Beach Towel

  • $39.00

In crystal-clear blues and sandy tans, Anishinaabe-Ojibwe artist Sarah Agaton Howes has brought forward the Native practice of making the everyday beautiful in her New Day Beach Towel. Sarah was inspired by her community's historic beadwork and loom patterns to create her New Day design. “We have always loved to adorn our lives with the practical and beautiful,” shares Sarah, who has turned a summer staple—a beach towel—into a work of useable art. 

The idea of creating a modern design based on historic weaving techniques and patterns has special significance for Sarah. “As Native people, we weave together the traditional and the modern with our way of doing business, with our values, with our arts, and with our many different ways of life. This design proudly carries forward our weaving tradition in a modern way.”
