Lapuan Kankurit linen and wool textiles

FROM THE WEAVERS OF GOOD LIFE

In the beginning, there is yarn. From this yarn we weave a good life, responsibly, respecting the environment. Our roots go all the way back to 1917.

We weave natural raw materials, linen and wool. We weave Nordic design, inspired by our pure nature. To balance out the chilling climate of the north, we weave heaps of warmth and softness into our textiles.

THE CLASSIC OF THE MONTH: MOTTI AND KOIVUNEN SERIES -20 %

KOIVUNEN (2005) and MOTTI (2007), designed by Marja Rautiainen, are really long-lasting classics! After several years, we have taken the Koivunen and Motti sauna series back into production again, in honour of our 50th anniversary.

In March we offer Motti and Koivunen series -20 %. The offer is valid for our valued customers in the Lapua Outlet, Helsinki Store and online during March. Remember to log in to get the offer online.

Sauna covers and sauna pillows have high quality finishing. The products are made of easy-care linen-cotton that brings out the beautiful shine of linen. By the way, did you know that our products are multi-purpose? For example, the sauna pillow can be used as a travel pillow.

WOVEN JOURNEY 1973 - 2023

It’s the 50th birthday of Lapuan Kankurit.
50 years filled with exultant joys, heart-breaking hardships, remarkable friendships, bold breakthroughs, beautiful designs – 50 years filled with more memories than a mind could possibly hold.

Our family’s journey in the world of textiles began all the way back in 1917 with Juho Annala, who founded a felt boot factory in Lapua and subsequently laid the groundwork for the founding of Lapuan Kankurit in 1973. The past is the cornerstone on which we ground our work and our mission. And it’s from this ground up we peer over the horizon to feel the fresh wind blowing in our faces. It’s a wind that carries promises of more memories to be made, of laughter, of freedom, of dreams. Of a deeper connection between Earth and its denizens. It makes no guarantees of things always being easy, but promises them to be worthwhile.

RESPONSIBILITY MANIFEST

We are the fourth generation of weavers in our family. Everything we do is transparent. We are guided by the thought that we are weaving a good life for people around the world.

With this responsibility report we want to walk you through the concrete actions we take. The responsibility manifest of Lapuan Kankurit along with our promises to the consumers and to our partners. You can read from the attachment, how products are created.

We will describe our process from the flax field to the conception of a product design all the way to the end user. We will demonstrate how we have incorporated responsibility in every step of the way. We want to pass on a lasting legacy for generations to come.

Ecological Choice

Linen is an ecological choice. Ground water is saved, since linen requires no irrigation. Instead, it uses rainwater to grow. The cultivation of linen maintains the healthy diversity of the ecosystem.
