Doing home and handicraft differently - Kaarnavilla!
Kaarnavilla does things differently.
The idea of a Finnish product online store was born in the everyday conversations of two handicraft enthusiasts, us, Päivi and Jesse. We have always valued Finnish production and entrepreneurship.
- We wanted to build an online store with a single unified brand even if there were numerous manufacturers.
- We wanted each product to meet the values we set for our online store.
- We wanted the customer not to have to ponder whether the product is genuinely Finnish.
- We definitely did not want a traditional market stall, but a place of design, elegance, and modernity.
"Maybe a name that combines both home and some handicraft material... Kaarnavilla! Would that be descriptive?"
This is how the idea of Kaarnavilla - Home of Finnish products was born.
In the world of entrepreneurship
Starting a business is akin to embarking on a journey into the unknown. Adaptability is key. Entrepreneurship is an ongoing learning experience. Each setback and triumph offers valuable lessons.

Kaarnavilla's operations are strongly guided by values: closeness to nature, quality, Finnishness, and tranquility. Now, in 2024, there are already nearly 80 Finnish companies involved.
