February’s Most Wanted: The KOIVU series -20%

The KOIVU (“birch”) pattern is a classic designed by Marja Rautiainen. Birch trees, the most common deciduous trees in Finland, are a significant part of our country’s nature and culture. Birch holds a particularly special place in Finnish bathing and sauna traditions: it is the preferred wood for heating saunas, and traditional sauna whisks are most often made from silver birch. Woven from nature’s own materials, our bath and sauna textiles celebrate the role of Finland’s national tree in everyday life.

The KOIVU collection includes bath towels in linen terry and washed linen, a linen hand towel, as well as two different-sized sauna covers and a sauna pillow made from a linen-cotton blend. Each piece is designed to bring a touch of nature’s own calm and softness into everyday life.

We use 100% European linen certified by Masters of Linen. All KOIVU products are woven and finished in our own facilities in Lapua, with care and deep respect for Finnish textile traditions.

The offer is valid at the Lapua Outlet, Helsinki Store, Tampere shop-in-shop, as well as in our online store throughout February 2026. This offer cannot be combined with other discounts or promo codes.

The Grand Story Behind a Small Weaving Mill

Our story is not created on the back of a mass production line. Our story cannot be replicated. Our story is one of values we live and work by. Not just hollow words repeated to appear virtuous, but actual acts we have worked tremendously toward. All this we do transparently and traceably, so that you need never doubt a single word we say.⁠

Local businesses and artisans uphold that rich and diverse weave which makes Europe one of a kind. This is why it is vital that small-scale operators do not vanish in the shadow of global competition. ⁠

Small businesses carry with them the kind of know-how that cannot be easily replaced. Traditional handicraft skills, local specialties and knowledge passed down through generations have earned their place of respect. Each small operator is part of the European cultural heritage and identity. When you choose their product, you also choose a story—one that speaks of the place, its history, and the people behind it.⁠

Thank you for choosing this one small weaving mill born from this one small country. The story we weave here is a grand one.⁠

Welcome to our weaving mill in Lapua, Finland!

The weaving mill is our heart.

It is our passion to keep the Finnish textile tradition alive –
honouring craftsmanship, heritage, and Nordic design. We continuously renew our operations, blending innovation with tradition.

Our top designs are woven in Lapua, in the middle of the Ostrobothnian fields. Our own mill, the young, open-minded professionals, and the experienced older craftsmen who work there allow us to make our products a little better every day.

We use only natural raw materials. We know where our materials come from, and we also know all the working stages from thread to finished product. This produces a result we can be proud of.

We are known for making our decisions using our heart and by placing people first

Everything we do is transparent. We only use ecological, certified natural materials such as linen and wool. And, we know where the materials come from. We are guided by the thought that we are weaving a good life for people around the world.

“Wool keeps you warm in the winter cold and feels nice and cool in the summer heat. Authentic wool stays fluffy and does not get dusty.”

If we didn’t have wool naturally, we’d have to invent it

At its most simple and yet versatile, the wool blanket brings out the best properties of wool outdoors. Ever since humans domesticated sheep 8000 years ago, the wool blanket has retained its shape up to this day. The super-functional properties of wool woven into a square shape makes it the ultimate piece of equipment for adventure.

“If there must be a limit to what our products can be used for, let it be defined by your imagination only. After all, we weave all of this for you. Unique, versatile products from authentic natural materials – for your unique, versatile and authentic life.”
