Lion Dance Towel

This eco-friendly reversible towel made from recycled plastic bottles features a beautiful abstract pastel design.

Editors' notes:

The lion dance is a familiar sight in Hong Kong. Traditionally it is performed to bring good luck for the coming lunar year and scare away evil spirits – a custom stretching back more than 1,000 years. More than 100 people still perform their dazzling routines in Hong Kong, but as teens swap dancing for studying, the next generation of dancers is in question.
