Cliché gifts from Finland

 

 These are some things that most of us Finns have owned during our life. Some of them have become iconic, like Jussi-shirt. You can also see people wearing home shoe Reino's outdoors. Story behind these shoes is that mostly elderly people used to wear them. At home. Not going outside. But why not wear these wool shoes outside, they're like wool socks that have become shoes. Let's consider them as Finnish UGG's.

​

Here's a list to inspire you:

Rubber boots are a must in Finland. You use them in the forest, when it rains, muddy days. It's not embarrassing to wear these, actually they have become a strong part of everyone's shoe selection. Hai boots (in the photo) are extremely popular. You can get these rubber boots from department stores as well as bigger supermarkets.

Jussi shirt is something we all Finns probbaly remember our grandpa's wearing. It's an iconic wool shirt. You'll be able to spot these prom second hand shops easilly. If there are 5,5 million people living in Finland, there are probably 3 million Jussi shirts around. People have also started to develope the idea by knitting Jussi shirt inspired woolsocks and jackets for dogs.

These are Reino shoes. You'll find them in any size. Nowadays also in many different colors! 

This Karhu bag by Ponke's has been inspired by Karhu beer. You can get it from Ponke's shop in central Helsinki.
