March 2011: One of qualia’s favourite guests, fashion designer Collette Dinnigan, has designed a new limited edition beach and pool towel for the luxury resort which is available to purchase for the first time by guests and qualia devotees.

Collette Dinnigan, who showcases her ‘Cruise Collection’ annually at qualia during Audi Hamilton Island Race Week said, ”qualia is my escape. I go there to relax and take inspiration from the immense natural beauty of the Island as it provides the perfect back drop for recharging and inspiring creativity. The towel print was created to reflect the brilliant colours of the flora and fauna at qualia.”

Exclusively available from the qualia Boutique, the limited edition towel can be purchased for AUD$149 plus delivery, via email: qboutique@hamiltonisland.com.au or tel: +617 4948 9473.
