About Rather Be In Finland

The person behind RBIF

Proudly owned by a Finnish small entrepreneur

Hi, I’m Teemu - a Finn behind this brand.

I created this brand to share a feeling that means a lot to me: the longing for Lapland, pure nature, quiet wandering, and the deep roots of Finnish sauna culture.

A small beginning. A personal journey.

I currently live in Lahti, in the heart of Finland, with my partner and our son. We spend a lot of time together as a family, and most of our days are shaped by being outdoors.

I founded Rather Be in Finland in January 2025, and during the very first year, shirts were purchased from 13 different countries.
I never would have believed this could be possible, and I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has shown support or interest in this brand in any way.

What started as a small experiment is growing into something much bigger, and I’m truly excited to see where the journey will lead next.

If you have any questions, ideas, or simply want to say hello, feel free to reach out.

Thank you for supporting my small business. Your support means more than you know.

Mun Paita

🧡 Unique and Fun Shirts – for Yourself or as a Gift

Mun Paita is your go-to place for unique, relaxed, and good-humored print shirts – the kind you won’t see on just anyone.

Our collection includes both t-shirts and sweatshirts, combining quality, comfort, and a touch of humor.

Whether you're looking for a gift for a friend, something to brighten your own day, or just a shirt that makes people smile – you're in the right place.

We believe clothing should tell a story, keep things relaxed, and still look great.

Mun Paita – because life’s too short for boring shirts.

Mun Paita

There's a stillness you find only in certain places — beside a lake at dusk, in the heat of a sauna, deep in a forest where the only sound is wind through the pines. Finnish nature doesn't just surround you. It changes you.

Rather Be in Finland offers shirts for those who carry that feeling wherever they go. Inspired by Finnish cottage life, Lapland wilderness, forest trails, and sauna culture — worn by people who know exactly what they're missing.

Funny! There aren’t enough orienteering-themed print shirts. The shirt held up well in the wash.

I’ve never come across such a wide selection of sauna shirts before. The material is soft and the print is clear.

I ordered this shirt as a surprise for my husband – he spends a lot of time in the forest. I've ordered several shirts from here, and every time I've been really happy with the quality!
