The Bada collection

The work on the BADA collection went on for 1 ½ years and in close collaboration with the master weavers Urban Johansson and Stefan Johansson. - It is fantastic to be able to work with these experienced and skilled craftsmen directly at the looms at Klässbols in Värmland, says Lena and continues: The focus has been to find beautiful and light qualities for each area of ​​use - towel, bath towel and kimono. All qualities must be fine unmangled as well as mangled. The collection has a graphic base in black, silver gray and white and is now also available in turquoise and sand.

BOTH towels are woven in 100% linen with different graphic surfaces, marine irregular lines but also with the characteristic Klässbols squares. The quality is developed to be thin and a little dry so that the water on the hands can be easily dried.

BADA bath towels consist of a mixed quality. Linen and a brand new environmentally friendly cellulose fiber Tencel, whose properties are similar to linen, which makes them excellent to combine in weaving. The quality is developed to be thick yet light. The waffle bond creates an appearance almost like small swirls with good absorbency. BADA kimono is a mixed quality in cotton and linen. Cotton for absorbency and linen for its shine. The structure itself is designed so that it forms small "air pockets". These pockets form a kind of thermo effect that keeps the heat. - I wanted to develop a quality that is somewhere between a thick terrycloth coat and a thin cotton kimono. The purpose is that it should not be too heavy and that it breathes.

BADA kimono is unisex and is tailored for women as well as men. It should be able to function as an elegant intermediate garment in the home for relaxed occasions. Not only after the bath, but also for "coziness", says Lena.
