Our story
Hello there! So nice to see you in our little shop. We are Mirka & Päivi, your hostesses around here, both born and bred in the Finnish highlands many a decade ago!
Here's us not quite that long ago:
A snapshot of our visit to the Irish Highlands, taken by the stunning Upper Lake in Glendalough. (By the way, if you're ever in Dublin, a day trip with Wild Wicklow Tours is an absolute must!)
Northlander, for its part, was born out of our yearning to our roots, to the rivers and fells of Lapland.
For us, the northern nature is the home of our souls, the source of our life force.
There we return again and again to recharge. Nothing is more rejuvenating than spending a day by the pebble shores of the river, fishing or just sitting by the campfire, listening to the chirping birds and the babbling water – while swatting at the whining mosquitoes.
One day it hit us: Why not share these beautiful Northern landscapes to the world, while also reminding us all of the fact that the delicate nature is rapidly and inevitably changing. It’s not what it used to be when we were children.
With our images and designs we wish to bring it to you as we experience it - hoping they help you to tap into the feeling and atmosphere of the magic that’s written all over it.
Check out our store and get a piece of the Northern feeling all to yourself! Feel free to drop us a line or two if there’s something in particular you’d like to see in our collection.
With warmest regards,
P.S. If you'd like us to design something similar in the Northlander style just for you, do get it touch! We're just one click away.
