Know before you buy
This towel is crafted from a sustainable blend of 33% linen, 46% recycled cotton, and 21% cotton. This combination provides a durable, textured feel that is both functional and environmentally conscious.
The towel is made from unbleached cotton and linen, which naturally results in subtle color and surface variations. These characteristics are intentional and highlight the authentic, raw quality of the sustainable materials used.
This item is not machine washable and should not be bleached. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the iconic print, we recommend spot cleaning or gentle hand washing as needed.
The towel measures 43 x 70 cm, or approximately 17 x 28 inches. Its generous size makes it versatile enough for drying dishes, lining serving trays, or simply adding a decorative touch to your kitchen.
The iconic Pieni Unikko floral design is featured on the front of the towel. Due to the nature of the printing process on this specific cotton-linen blend, the pattern is most vibrant on the face of the fabric.
