Hi, I'm Charlie and I am very fortunate to live with my husband and 2 kids in paradise, in Cairns Australia.

As you can imagine with living in the tropics, we visit beaches, pools, creeks, campsites, van parks, lakes (anything with a body of water really) frequently!  Having always been a fan of the humble hooded towel, ripping my childrens heads off whilst removing them was definitely not my finest moment.  And as you can guess, all I could find were bulky monotone hooded towels which weren't exciting my family.  

So welcome to the TOWELSUIT (lovingly named by my daughter - as it isn't a swimsuit, or a wetsuit - it's a towelsuit), and Nateve Australia!
The original zip up sand free hooded towel.

Creating something that is lightweight, compact, quick drying, provides sun protection (UPF50+) and importantly is colourful, comfortable and fun to wear was super important to us.  We wanted a fuss free practical item that could come with us everywhere, and on every adventure! 

Over the last couple of years we've also added our Beach Mats, Hair Wraps & Active Towels, so that we've got all other bases covered. 
Who doesn't love a practical product!

And yes, you guessed it - Nateve is a combination of my children's names and we pronounce it 'native'.
