The first photos of its use in motor racing were taken at Long Island in 1904 and then at the finish of the Indianapolis 500 in 1912, but it was in Monaco in 1934 that Antony Noghès made it official to mark the arrival of the first driver with its current design. And it was in 1937, three years later, that the checkered flag was integrated into the international sporting code of the AIACR and became the universal symbol of victory!"}]}]}

The long looped Egyptian cotton sponge of our beach towels is printed "on table", with the "Lyon frame" technique, a technique based on the stencil technique. Each printing frame isolates the surfaces, the printing is thus carried out in several stages (one by different color).

 

For a perfect penetration of the colors into the fibers, we use five times the weight of the beach cloth in dye in its tank.

 

The fabric is then washed, dried and steamed to fix the colors. 

Its box, its case, red, the color of Monaco, is made in the Principality of Monaco from FSC certified paper from responsibly managed forests.

The Grand Prix beach towel is part of the "Grand Prix" collection, an incredibly soft beach towel that illustrates in drawings a major event of the Principality of Monaco.
