We are Kristina and Iva — the faces behind the brand new generation of towels, Shulka. We’ve both worked in design, textiles and online fashion merchandising. Logically, we decided to expand our field of work and create a product of our own — a product that is 100% natural and adds great value to our everyday life.

Shulka was born on the Punta Cana beach in the Dominican Republic. We suddenly felt the need of a towel that is both light and compact, so we won’t have to get extra luggage with us while traveling. We wanted it to be clean, minimalistic and stylish, soft and quick-drying. We didn’t need just another mass product for the beach, we needed more.

 The name ‘Shulka’ comes from the Bulgarian word ‘shushulka’ which means ‘pea pod’ — the cocoon that wraps around little peas and beans, just like our towel wraps around you.

We’ve always loved collaborative projects; that’s why we came up with the idea to combine the design of Shulka with the work of talented illustrators for our collections. Stay tuned for our first project, and in the meantime enjoy the minimalistic design of the monochrome Shulka.
