Lapuan Kankurit Koivu Bath Towel, white/grey

The birch tree is woven into Finnish life in ways that go well beyond the forest. It heats the sauna, its branches are bundled into the traditional sauna whisk, and its pale trunks are among the first things Finns picture when they think of home. Designer Marja Rautiainen — one of Lapuan Kankurit's most celebrated long-standing collaborators — captured that quiet presence in the Koivu pattern, rendering a stand of birches in cool white and grey directly into the weave of the fabric itself.

Made from 100% washed European linen in a double-weave construction at Lapuan Kankurit's mill in Lapua, the Koivu bath towel is exceptionally absorbent and fast-drying, soft against the skin and compact enough to fold small for travel or tuck neatly into a cupboard. At nearly 37 by 59 inches, it wraps generously without the bulk of a terry cloth towel.
