What people buy alongside this one.
Every winter Finland's lakes freeze hard enough to drive on and the sensible response, apparently, is to strap blades to your feet and go for a wander across them. In the UK we get one week of ice a year and spend it falling over in car parks. Finland gets months of it and a national pastime.
The person wearing this is not making conversation about the weather. They are telling you that the meeting, the queue and the chat you are currently having are all keeping them from a frozen lake and a flask of something hot. Wear it indoors and mean it.

Care and materials
Care and materials
Machine wash it cold and inside out, then tumble dry low or hang it to dry, which keeps the print sharp for longer.
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 item is printed to order in small numbers rather than mass produced and left in a warehouse.
About Very Finnish Problems
About Very Finnish Problems
VFP was started by British author Joel Willans, who met his Finnish wife in London and moved with her to Helsinki in 2002. Over the next two decades his observations of Finnish life grew into a community of 1.3 million people worldwide. Every design is inspired by real Finnish life and created by Joel and his team in Helsinki. Joel is also the author of the Very Finnish Problems books, written after many years of living in Finland and still not fully understanding it.

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.
