The Arctic whale is considered one of the longest living mammals known to man. The estimated life span is around 150 – 200 years. Some bowhead whales that were caught and examined still had harpoons from the late 1800s sitting in them. So the next time you notice a splinter in your foot, appreciate that it won’t stay there the next 100 years.
The design on this product is embroidered in Portugal in one of the most respected embroidery factories north of the equator. Besides being impressive craftmanship, the high-quality embroidery fits well with our aim to produce long lasting products. The thread used make the designs robust and crisp after many adventures and roundtrips in the washing machine.
Do remember to wash it inside out (and to turn around again when you put it back on). During wash the cotton will curl a bit around the embroidery, but it can be straightened back out by ironing around it (not on it).
