Beautiful 2 litre capacity hot water bottle with soft + cosy, 100% pure new wool cover woven responsibly by Finnish company Lapuan Kankurit.
Like us here at Iris Lifestyle, everything Lapuan Kankurit do is transparent; they take a stand against fast-consumption or short-lived, cheap production and take good care of their employees, partners + clients.
With every purchase of the Saimaannorppa hot water bottle there is a donation given by Lapuan Kankurit towards saving the Saimaa Ringed Seal.
Lapuan Kankurit have a weaving mill in Lapua, western finland where they manufacture products from yarn to a finished product that stand the test of time whilst keeping their environmental footprint as small as possible. They only use ecological, certified materials.
Their strategy is to be responsible for the whole production from yarn to readymade products. Most of their production is done in their own weaving mills in Lapua. Where production is not possible in Lapua, it is done in their own subsidiary sewing company/ partly owned factory in Lithuania. This means they can be part of companies’ sustainable development.
