ARTISAN STUDIO WITH A MISSION
Our story
Slow Fashion as a mission
Slowness is a luxury for which we take responsibility as a designer and manufacturer. Like a gentle revolution, we make durable bags that last a lifetime.
One bag at a time, minimizing waste, PIHKA bags are created for a real need.
All our work and choices in planning, design, manufacturing and material selection are aimed at ensuring that the bag completes the wearer's style for a long time, responsibly and over time. Longevity is also supported by our decision to create bags that can always be maintained and repaired.
Responsible PIHKA leather bags are created to withstand time and real life.
When style and durability are not compromised — ONE BAG IS ENOUGH
ROOTS IN HANDMADE TRADITION
Handicraft is not just that an artisan carefully makes a bag with professional pride. It's that each manufactured bag is valued as an individual as a result of thoughtful one-on-one work.
Every stitch, pattern and seam is made for a reason.
And the story of the bag does not end when it is handed over from the hands of the craftsman to the user. The love and care will continue to deepen for years to come.
For us, craftsmanship is also the fact that PIHKA bags have been created to be maintained and repaired. Repairability is the result of durable design and high-quality material choices. At our studio, we do annual maintenance and give maintenance tips to take home
ARTESAN-STUDIO, HELSINKI
The heart of PIHKA bags, the PIHKA artesan–studio, is located on Punanotkonkatu in Ullanlinna, Helsinki. The heart where the bags are made one at a time, new designs are created and PIHKA bags are maintained & repaired again and again, even after years of use. At the studio, you can meet the hearts that beat behind PIHKA: Sofia Salmi, Roosa Mattsson and Josefiina Lahti, as well as the rest of the team that enable responsible PIHKA bags to be born and the story to continue. These hearts beat responsible values, craft tradition and passion for style and design.
Your bag is made for you — IN THE HANDS OF AN ARTISAN, CREATED FOR YOU.
A symbol of love and continuity
PIHKA is much more than just a responsible Finnish bag brand. It is a dialogue between nature and elegance. The word PIHKA transports us to the embrace of nature, where the task of resin is to treat and repair dents and scratches in wood, strengthening the wood's durability.
PIHKA also reflects deep and strong love. Each bag is carefully designed and individually made, made to order just for you. The durability of the bags guarantees that the love and affection can last a lifetime.
For us, PIHKA symbolizes durability, care, craft tradition, luxury and timelessness — these are also the values of the PIHKA Collection.
In responsible PIHKA products, you can see a wood monogram that tells about the resin of the tree, the connection with nature and from deep roots to craft tradition.
Love for a bag can be deep and durable. CHOOSE A BAG THAT LAST.
