The Story Behind Drift & Dune

The Story Behind Drift & Dune

At Drift & Dune, we believe that a day at the beach should be about relaxation, not wrestling with towels, chasing sand, or worrying about your belongings. Our brand was born from those common frustrations we all face when spending time by the sea—and our mission is to create smart, practical products that make your beach experience more enjoyable.

It all started in sunny Gibraltar on National Day, a bank holiday where locals and visitors hit the beaches to celebrate their nation. As lovers of the coast, we did the same. But amidst the sun and the sea breeze, we found ourselves dealing with the usual beach day hassles: towels that wouldn’t stay in place, nowhere comfortable to rest our heads, and the constant need to keep an eye on our valuables.

That’s when the idea struck—why not create products that solve these small but significant problems?

A few weeks later, we came across Practi Towel®—a towel that could be pegged into the sand to stay put, came with a pillow insert for comfort, and even had a lockable pocket for valuables. It was exactly what we’d been looking for. This product ticked all the boxes, and we knew it could make a real difference for beachgoers. Soon after, Practi Towel® became part of the Drift & Dune family.

But we didn’t stop there. One of the biggest annoyances at the beach is the sand—it seems to follow you everywhere, especially inside your beach bag. So we set out to design a bag that could solve that problem. The SandAway Tote was our answer: crafted without seams or inner linings, it allows sand to simply shake out, and it’s easy to rinse clean after a day by the sea. It’s also environmentally friendly and reusable, offering a stylish alternative to single-use bags.

These products became the foundation of Drift & Dune, a brand dedicated to crafting quality beach essentials that make your time at the coast as easy and enjoyable as possible. Whether it's a towel that won’t blow away or a bag that keeps the sand out of your car, we’re all about removing the little hassles so you can focus on what really matters—relaxing, enjoying the sun, and making memories.

Drift & Dune is more than just a beachwear brand. We’re committed to creating innovative, thoughtful products with the environment in mind, so you can enjoy your day at the beach with confidence, knowing we’re doing our bit to protect our coastlines.
