A removable tag for a towel, comprising:
- an arcuately shaped front member having a forward facing side and a rear facing side, wherein:
- the arcuately shaped front member extends vertically upwards from a bottom edge to form a substantially flat surface in the vertical direction;
- a first side edge and a second side edge of the arcuately shaped front member extend rearward to form a concave surface relative to the rear facing side, and
- the bottom edge curves rearward along a same arc path formed by the concave surface;
- a rear member extending upwards from the bottom edge of the arcuately shaped front member adjacent the rear facing side, wherein:
- the rear member comprises a series of protruding rides disposed along a surface of the rear member facing the rear facing side of the arcuately shaped front member and aligned parallel to a direction of curvature of the concave surface, wherein the first side edge and the second side edge of the arcuately shaped front member extend rearward of the series of protruding ridges;
- and
- an open channel area is formed below the gripping element and above the bottom edge between a lower portion of the rear facing side of the arcuately shaped front member, and a lower portion of the surface of the rear member facing the rear facing side.
