SOMERSIDE X VEGAS FITZMAURICE
Bunjil, the wedge-tailed eagle and creator, soars high above Melbourne (Naarm) in Kulin Nation. The Yarra River (Birrarung) winds through bushland and the city, flowing into the bay. Kangaroo tracks on the right symbolize the outer rural areas with their native wildlife, while floral gardens sprinkle the riverbanks and inner city, home to gathering places. Albert Park Lake, near the bay, is depicted with its rich plant life and social spaces. The river flows west, connected to the land across by a tribal pattern representing the Westgate Bridge. To the north, the warmer, harsher climate is reflected in the rich colors and textures of the landscape, showcasing the beauty of the Kulin Nation and Wurundjeri land.

SomerSide towels are all made from 85% post-consumer plastic bottles. Recycled plastic bottles are transformed into polyester fabric to be used to create our amazing towels. It takes 8 to 14 plastic bottles to make one SomerSide towel, ultimately preventing these plastic bottles from ending up in landfills or our oceans.
Transforming plastic bottles into such a functional and technologically advanced fabric is an innovative process. Firstly the bottles are collected from recycling centres. The lids and labels are removed before the bottles are washed. The bottles are shredded in flakes, which are melted down and extruded as fibres. These fibres are combined with 15% Polyamide to bring you the softness of the Somerside Towels.
