Roller towels take starring role in film!

Our traditional roller towels are playing a starring role in the recently released film The Keeper. The film tells the story of Bert Trautmann, who famously kept goal for Manchester City in the 1956 Cup Final while suffering from a broken neck. The blue striped towels are shown in the Wembley dressing room scenes.

It's been two years since we were first contacted by Julia Panholzer, the set decorator for Lieblingsfilm Produktions GmbH who were making the film. She was keen to acquire a set of the striped roller towels for the dressing room scenes. We were pleased to help, and dispatched a very large parcel of blue striped roller towels to her in Munich. 

We were delighted to see the film, which we enjoyed very much. Congratulations to Julia and her team for creating such wonderful sets. 

Our traditional roller towels are available in green stripe, red stripe, and neutral stripe, as well as blue stripe.
