What people buy alongside this one.

There is one room in Finland where nobody expects you to say anything. It is also the hottest room in the house, which is either a coincidence or the whole point. You sit. Somebody throws water. The heat arrives. Nobody fills the silence, because the silence is not a problem that needs filling.

Löyly is the word for what happens next. Not steam exactly, though steam is what you can see. It is the wave of heat that lifts off the stones and crosses the room and lands on you all at once, and it is the only thing anyone in there is really there for.

That is the trade. You give up the conversation. You get the löyly.

The print says so plainly. Three curls of steam above two lines of heavy rounded capitals, with enough air between them to read across a changing room.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions.

Shipping and returns

We ship to over 50 countries including the US, Canada, UK, Australia and across Europe, and shipping is always free worldwide.

Most orders arrive within 5 to 10 business days, and you will receive a tracking link as soon as your order ships.

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.

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

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.

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.
