The first appearance of the word beachcomber in print appeared in the novel Two Years Before the Mast published in 1840. The art of beachcombing for objects of interest to share or trade has been with us ever since. RM COCO’s pattern Beachcomber features an assortment of scallop shells set atop an array of colorful background colorations. Printed appropriately on our Portside cotton duck, Beachcomber is sure to be a popular favorite in coastal areas, or anywhere a little island living is desired.
