Designed by Kaarina Tiainen, the Saimaannorppa towel celebrates Finland's beloved Saimaa ringed seal with a quietly playful pattern in soft white and grey. Generously sized for the beach, bath, sauna, or lakeside dock, it's the kind of towel you'll keep reaching for long after summer has packed up.

Woven in Finland from 100% washed linen, it's wonderfully absorbent, dries in a flash, and becomes even softer with every wash. Lightweight enough to tuck into a beach bag, hardworking enough for everyday use, and proof that great design can make even drying off feel a little more magical.

 

A towel with a soft spot for seals. Lapuan Kankurit donates €3.60 from every large Saimaannorppa towel sold to help protect the endangered Saimaa ringed seal. 🦭

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.

Kaarina Tiainen has a knack for making Finland's forests, lakes, and wildlife look right at home on a piece of linen. Her illustrations are calm, thoughtful, and just playful enough to make you wonder if the local seals know they're famous. Through her work with Lapuan Kankurit, she celebrates the everyday beauty of the Nordic landscape, proving that great design doesn't have to shout to make an impression.

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.
