Description

Lapuan Kankurit’s Virta hand towel brings the relaxed feel of linen to both home and summer cottage – this thin, quick-drying linen towel works beautifully as a hand towel in the bathroom or as a tea towel in the kitchen. The naturally toned surface of the linen towel is decorated with minimalist stripes in softly cheerful shades. The name Virta means “current” or “stream” in Finnish. 

Designed by Elina Helenius, the textiles in the Virta collection are made from washed European linen, making them pleasantly lightweight and durable year after year. Virta textiles are woven at Lapuan Kankurit’s own weaving mill in Finland; the brand name translates as “Weavers of Lapua.”
