Speaking Finnish is a superpower. Not many people have it, and those who do tend not to advertise the fact. They just answer in Finnish, wait for the confusion, and quietly feel better about their day.

This shirt is for the Finnish kid in a room full of people who do not know what Finnish is, or where Finland is, or that Finland exists. It is for the child being raised bilingual across borders. It is for the family that needs one thing to communicate a complicated cultural fact without saying a word.

Some superpowers skip generations. Some have to be sewn on a shirt before they are taken seriously.

The shirt itself

This is not a tourist shop shirt that goes stiff and sad after one wash. The design is printed straight into the fabric using DTG, so it stays soft and will not crack, peel or fade the way a pressed on transfer does. The blanks are OEKO-TEX certified, which means they are tested free from harmful substances and safe against your skin. Every shirt is printed to order in small numbers rather than mass produced and left in a warehouse, so what arrives is made for you and built to be worn for years.

Joel Willans, founder of Very Finnish Problems

Designed in Helsinki by someone who actually lives here

Very Finnish Problems is run by Joel Willans, a British writer who moved to Finland over twenty years ago and never quite got around to leaving. Every design comes out of real Finnish life he's had with his Finnish wife, Anna and their kids, and a community of more than 1.3 million people who know exactly what no niin means.
