The Galleria Hand Towel wears Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi's 1956 stripe, with the Marimekko label sewn along the bottom edge. Galleria belongs to the group of Marimekko stripes that never went away, a print that has quietly held its place in the collection for decades.
It is woven in Portugal from heavyweight 100% organic cotton terry, measures 50 x 100 cm and comes in Emerald / Melon. Wash it before use with like colours at the stated temperature, in a full machine and without fabric conditioner, so the terry keeps its absorbency. Shrinkage is a maximum of 6%.
Hang it by the basin and add the matching bath towel from the Marimekko collection.

Marimekko's stripes
Stripes have carried Marimekko since the 1950s. Some supported other prints, some lasted a season or two. Galleria, Finnish for gallery, is one of the strong ones that stayed and became a lasting classic.

Towels that work
The guest and hand towels are heavyweight organic cotton terry woven in Portugal, with the Marimekko label on the bottom edge. Use the 30 x 50 cm towel for guests and the 50 x 100 cm for hands and face.

Robe and slippers
The bathrobe has long sleeves with wide turn-ups, patch pockets and a separate belt. The slippers are organic cotton terry with rubber soles, in sizes S, M and L, with the Marimekko label on the inside sole.
Materials
- Organic cotton terry
- Towels and slippers; wash before first use and at 60 °C with like colours.
- Cotton robe
- The bathrobe is 100% cotton, cut with wide cuffs and patch pockets.
- No fabric softener

Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi joined Marimekko in 1953 and left in 1960 to found her own brand, Vuokko. She shaped the house's early look with bold stripes and clean-lined clothing, including the 1956 Jokapoika shirt. Her honours include the Lunning Prize in 1964.
