Skip the wash unless it’s really dirty — fresh air usually does the trick. If you must, hand wash cool (30°C) or dry clean. Dissolve powder detergent first, then dip, wash quick, and squeeze gently (no scrubbing, stretching, or wringing). Rinse well, press between towels until half-dry, then air dry flat. No tumble dryers, please. If it needs pressing, use a damp cloth and medium heat. Wool likes gentle care — treat it right and it’ll keep you cozy for years.

Akira Minagawa is the Japanese designer who proves fabric can have feelings. Founder of minä perhonen, he spins memories, doodles, and daydreams into textiles that are equal parts whimsical and romantic. Whether for his own label or collaborations with Lapuan Kankurit, Minagawa’s work reminds us that good design doesn’t just decorate—it tells stories, flirts with fantasy, and sneaks joy into the everyday.
