White Polyester Laundry Bag

Sand gets everywhere after a day on the coast, and it ends up in the wash whether you like it or not. This laundry bag keeps board shorts, swimmers and anything else caked in salt and grit separate from the rest of the load, so the rest of your wash doesn't end up gritty too.

The fabric

Made from polyester, chosen because it holds its shape wash after wash and doesn't break down the way natural fibres can when soaked through with salt water. It's a practical, no-fuss material for something that's going to spend its life wet, damp or full of sandy clothes.

The fit

One size, in white. It's built to go in the machine with everything else, not to be sized to a body, so there's no fit information to speak of beyond that. Think of it less as a garment and more as a piece of laundry kit.

How to wear it

Not something you wear, something you use. Keep it by the back door for sandy towels and swimmers, or in the laundry for anything you'd rather wash separately from the rest of the household load. It earns its keep after every beach day.

Care

Machine wash cold, hang to dry in the shade. Polyester dries fast, so it won't sit around damp, and it won't hold onto salt smell the way some fabrics do.
