What is it and what are the potential uses for it?
The Eden Fantasys swag beach towel is meant to dry you off even at lives most dirtiest moments. Anywhere you would take a normal towel and anyway you would use a towel, the Eden swag towel can fulfill that need. The only issue would be if you want a discreet Eden towel; this swag towel says "Eden Fantasys" right on it, so it would not be very discreet.

Material and Care
The tag marks this as 100% cotton, which feels super soft. It does shed fuzzies and strings do start to unravel, especially if they are snagged. The outside of the towel has more of velvet feel to it, but the inside is more rough and rigid like a usual towel would feel. According to the tag you should wash this towel at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), you should not bleach, iron, or sun dry. All are symbols which can be found here, but the sun one was not on any list.

Design
The towel is 29.5" across and 59.5" down, so this is a larger size beach towel. The towel starts off with an inch of folded then stitched material, then goes down to the towel, but at the end is an inch of folded then stitched material again. The sides have 1/8" material folded and stitched. The front of this towel is mostly black, but the design is hot pink and lime green. The design starts off with three green outlines of clouds, two small and one large one. Inside of the large cloud, in green it says "Eden", but your second "e" is the the usually fruit "e" that is used. Then next to that is "fantasys.com" in hot pink. There is a solid hot pink heart below this and to the the right side, which has two drips below it into a chemistry mini lab. Also in the middle of this cloud and below it is the start of outlined green bubbles. There are 4 of these bubble that get smaller as they go down to the mini chemistry lab. The chemistry lab starts off with a buchner funnel that is just the outline is green, this funnel is inside of a buchner flask, which is also outlined in green, with hot pink liquid inside. Attached to this flask is solid hot pink tubing that runs to a round bottom flask, which is outlined in green with pink solid liquid. Under the tubing that connects the buchner flask and the round bottom flask is a hot pink flame above a green stick. Now back to the round bottom flask, there is pink tubing out the left side taking liquid to three boiling test tubes, which are outlined in green and with pink liquid. Out the bottom on these boiling test tubes is tubing that is all brought together then running down to another round bottom flask, which is outlined in green with pink liquid. The final tube comes out the right and end up in a Margarita glass. The Margarita glass is out lined in green with pink liquid, a pink straw, and a citrus fruit slice on the rim. To the left of this Margarita glass is two triangles that point to the glass, but next to that it says " Get some"; these are all in lime green. (In case you want to refresh you memory on flasks, I have found this to reference to.)

Quality Check Quality: Fairly Good
All this stitching looks good and matches up. However, on the top and bottom where the material is folded down and stitched, they didn't side the sides, so material is fraying out.

Performance
If you do not wash this a couple of times before you use it, you will be covered in black fuzzies. When I did use the towel I felt as if it did not absorb liquid like it should. It left me slightly moist after trying to dry off. I used it to try and clean up a spill on the floor, but it left water behind and more just swirled around the puddle. In my opinion this towel is best for decoration. It just does not absorb like it should.

Overall Rating
I want so badly to give this towel 5 stars, but that would be based only on the appearance. However it is the use and performance that makes this towel only come in at 3 stars. It fails to absorb, but it is pretty to look at.

I use this towel regularly. It's got better with the black lint. It still doesn't absorb like it should, but it works for a pool towel. I mostly like it for the design because it's an Eden towel.
