Valgamaa Mitten Pattern Sauna Towel

Valgamaa Mitten Pattern Sauna Towel – an Estonian heritage pattern in cotton terry

The Valgamaa Mitten Pattern Sauna Towel brings a piece of Estonian folk design into everyday use. Measuring 67 × 150 cm and made from 100% cotton, it carries a dark grey and white pattern inspired by the mitten designs of historic Otepää parish, in today’s Valga County. The towel is designed and made in Estonia under LOKO, a brand from the island of Hiiumaa.

A reversible mitten pattern

Estonian mitten patterns are traditional geometric designs that vary from region to region. On this towel, stepped squares and cross-shaped motifs repeat in a calm, rhythmic layout. The pattern is woven into the terry rather than printed, so it is part of the fabric itself. It is also reversible: on the back, the dark grey and white trade places, so you can choose which side is on show in the bathroom or sauna changing room.

Material and quality

The towel is made from 100% cotton terry, a looped fabric that absorbs moisture well and feels soft against the skin. With a fabric weight of 530 g/m², the terry is dense and thick, giving the towel a pleasing heft. Both ends are finished with a flat woven border, and a hanging loop makes it easy to hang on a hook or peg.

Size and everyday use

At 67 × 150 cm, this sauna towel is a comfortable size for drying off after the sauna, a bath or a shower, and it is long enough to wrap around yourself. It works just as well in a gym bag or as a beach towel.
