Paapii's black and white cottoncanvas with a Kalevala inspired motif. The intriguing content of Kalevala inspired Anniina Isokangas, who has designed the pattern, to draw bears and wolves guarding the gate of the North. 

In groves where spirits of the woods entwine,
Lured by will-o'-wisps' enchanting shine.
Wolves, nobly howling, in the moonlight's grace,
Bears, playing the harp, find a rhythmic embrace.

They pluck tunes from the pines, a melody pure,
Celebrating life's spin, the full moon to assure.
Guardians of the North, the gateway they defend,
Ancestors of woodlands, Mother Nature, transcendent blend.

With its slightly heavier and more durable structure compared to regular cotton, cotton canvas is perfect for both interior design items and accessories.

Paapii's cotton canvas is made from 100% organic cotton and is known for its versatility and durability. The material does not stretch.

The motif on the fabric is printed using the traditional rotary printing technique. Each colour is applied alternately to the fabric surface using rotating printing cylinders. The colours penetrate deep into the fabric fibers, enhancing colour durability during washing and use.

The fabric is 140 cm wide. Bags, tablecloths, and decorative pillows are easily sewn from Paapii's cotton canvas.
