Ihana is the Finnish word for lovely, and Finns do not hand it out freely. It is kept for the genuine article: a good sauna, the first warm day after a long winter, a fresh cinnamon bun, the rare moment when everything is, briefly, exactly as it should be. When a Finn says it, they mean it.
For the Finn, the Finn at heart, or the Suomi lover in your life who appreciates a word used sparingly and well.
The front print keeps it to the word itself. This unisex tee is soft, breathable ring spun cotton (heather colours contain polyester), lightweight with a comfortable, flattering fit that suits everyone. The crisp white Ihana print stays sharp wash after wash. Available in Black Heather, Navy, Forest green and Charity Pink, in sizes XS to 3XL. We offer free worldwide shipping with no minimum, so your shirt arrives wherever you are.
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a little longer to deliver. Making products on demand rather than in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for shopping thoughtfully.
Age restrictions: for adults. EU warranty: 2 years.

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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you ship?
We ship to over 50 countries including the US, Canada, UK, Australia and across Europe, and shipping is always free worldwide.
How long does delivery take?
Most orders arrive within 5 to 10 business days, and you will receive a tracking link as soon as your order ships.
What if the size does not fit?
We offer a 30 day returns policy, so if the fit is not right you can get in touch and we will sort it out. It is worth checking the size chart before ordering if you are unsure.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash it cold and inside out, then tumble dry low or hang it to dry, which keeps the print sharp for longer.
Is it ethically made?
Every item is printed using DTG technology on OEKO-TEX certified blanks and made to order, so there is no batch overproduction.
The shirt itself
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.

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.
