Alku Oven Mitt

This generously-sized oven mitt will fit on either the right or left hand. Maija Louekari's Alku pattern features a navy pattern on an unbleached cotton/linen blend. The repeating shapes reference seeds and potential for growth. Makes a great housewarming or shower gift.

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.

Please note: Image placement may differ from oven mitt pictured, as each is cut individually from the fabric.
