Lapuan Kankurit

“Lapuan Kankurit” simply means “the weavers of Lapua.” In that small town in western Finland the Hjelt family has woven for generations — the roots reach back to 1917 — and to this day everything is made in their own mill, from yarn to finished cloth. For bath and sauna, that means bathrobes and towels in natural fibers — Nordic wool, washed European linen — soft, long-lasting, honestly made, often designed with young designers. As they put it: “We make our products — not somebody somewhere.”
