While great for use in the kitchen with built-in hanging loop for easy drying, customers have also been known to use stretcher bars and hang these vibrant towels on their walls. This one features Katsuji Wakisaka's "Green Green" pattern, designed in 1975. Printed in Helsinki, the fabric is a cotton and linen blend, and features a green picot edge finish. Made in Estonia.

Founded in 1951 by visionary Finnish textile designer Armi Raitia and her husband, Viljo, Marimekko grew from a small textile-printing firm into an international phenomenon. From its beginnings as a textile design company, Marimekko (meaning “Mary’s dress”) branched out into everything from toys to dinnerware to architecture, becoming something of a lifestyle brand in the 1960s and 70s. The company’s outstanding designers revolutionized modern printed fabrics and fashion. Today the company continues to collaborate with young artists, encouraging experimentation. The result is spirited, non-traditional patterns and vivid colors.
