Item Description

2 Black Linen Bath Towels made by Vaxbo Lin in Sweden
"Linen is the perfect bath towel material, good at absorbing and quick to dry. What’s more, it’s thin and takes very little space. These properties make it perfect whether you’re at home, at the beach, at the bath house or on a trip. In the sauna, linen feels cool to the touch, and its design adds style wherever you choose to use it."

Design: Ingela Berntsson

Size: 90 cm x 150 cm / 35.4" x 59"

Item Special Note

"Made in Sweden

It is with pride that we work to preserve and develop Swedish cultural heritage. Växbo Lin started in 1990, in the same place where linen have been produced for centuries. It was a crazy project, to build a new factory when most of the Swedish industry began to move their production to countries with cheaper labor. For us it is important that the Swedish industry survives so that jobs and knowledge can be preserved. We weave and sew our linen products in our factory in Hälsingland, literally weaving together established handicraft traditions with modern design. We are convinced that we need to consume fewer but better things. Our contribution is products in pure linen, a natural material that will last for generations.
