Some towels dry you off. This one helps protect a sea.

Designed by Elina Helenius, Merellä (Finnish for at sea) is a modern tribute to Liisa Hjelt, Lapuan Kankurit's first textile designer. Inspired by Hjelt's beloved 1970s wall hanging, the flowing jacquard pattern brings a little piece of the Baltic to the bath, beach, or sauna.

Woven in Finland from 100% washed linen, this generously sized towel is wonderfully absorbent, quick to dry, and becomes even softer with every wash. And because good design should leave a good mark, Lapuan Kankurit donates €10 from every large Merellä towel sold to the John Nurminen Foundation's Clean Baltic Sea projects, helping protect the sea that inspired it.

Wash separately on a warm or hot cycle with plenty of water and a pinch of detergent. Skip softener, bleach, and the dryer — linen likes it simple. Reshape while damp, lay flat to dry, and press on the linen setting if you like it crisp. A few fibers may shed (check that lint filter). Natural linen lightens with every wash — part of the charm.

Elina Helenius has spent more than 25 years proving that a great pattern can do a lot of heavy lifting. A Finnish textile, color, and surface designer, she finds inspiration in forests, coastlines, changing seasons, and the quiet moments in between. Now part of Lapuan Kankurit's in-house design team, she creates textiles that feel timeless, thoughtful, and right at home wherever they land. Turns out Finland has a pretty impressive muse.

Lapuan Kankurit is the Finnish weaving mill that’s been turning yarn into joy since 1917. Four generations later, they’re still family-run, still stubborn about quality, and still proving that linen and wool can outlast any trend. Sustainability isn’t a side note here—it’s woven right in, from traceable natural fibers to textiles built to stick around for decades. Inspired by wild Nordic nature but softened for everyday life, their towels, throws, and sauna staples are proof that “slow” looks and feels a whole lot better.
