Our Collection of Swedish & Foreign Cities Tea Towels are made in Sweden by Ekelund Weavers. These collections of textiles are some of the most natural and finest quality woven kitchen, table and home linens available and reflect the taste and style of the Scandinavian good life.

All articles are woven at the old family mill with natural materials that have been cultivated, harvested and selected with respect for the environment and recognized by the Swedish Society for nature conservation. In addition, the entire Ekelund Weavers collection is certified by GOTS (The Global Organic Textile Standard), the world's leading processing standard for organic textiles.

Scandinavian traditions, like love, are passed on from generation to generation. Ekelund's founder Marta Ingemarsdotter's legacy of quality and beauty live on in these textile collections. The entire assortment of woven articles—from the oldest classic patterns to the newest and most brilliant—are made in accordance with Marta's family traditions, to be enjoyed in accordance with yours.
Nils-Erik Nilsson

Since 1972, Halmstad artist Nils-Erik Nilsson devoted himself to classical oil and watercolor painting. The motifs have often been taken from the Halland landscape and especially from the coast. From 2003 onwards, Nils-Erik was hired by an art publisher to paint Christmas card motifs from different cities and towns in Sweden, which has led to about 300 different Christmas cards being created with motifs from all over the country.

This interest has now become a great passion and painting is now completely dominated by capturing the distinctiveness and image of the Swedish cities. In the city motifs, Nils-Erik paints a well-known and representative view of each city. The motifs are a mixture of imagination, reality, humor and many details—the most common comment from viewers is "you get happy". The city motifs are an end in themselves, but the images are used for postcards, magnets, badges, canvas paintings, etc. and sometimes not at all. In 2018, a project was started in collaboration with Ekelund's weaving mill in Horred to craft a collection of city towels based on Nils-Erik's city motif.
