PIHKA collection
PIHKA collection is a Tampere-based footwear and bag brand, whose distinctive products and
services are the result of three young female entrepreneurs working together and complementing
each other with their own unique handcraft and design skills. The products are wholly designed
and produced in Finland; the business is located in the charming old Kehräsaari factory complex in
the center of Tampere.
Handcrafting is used as much as possible in creating PIHKA collection products, and the all-Finnish
subcontractors have been selected very carefully in order to use only the finest materials. PIHKA
also organizes popular shoemaking and bag making courses, in which the participants can create
their own personalized products using PIHKA designs.
