Cold Paradise Drawstring Bag Finnish Tote Bag

The idea that paradise requires warmth is a southern assumption. Finland offers an alternative definition: clear water, extreme quiet, birch forests and a sky that in summer barely gets dark. It is not warm. It is something better.

For anyone who has been to a Finnish lake in July at midnight, when the light is still pale and the water is still, and decided that the southern definition of paradise was underselling it.

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.
