There is something sacred about the sauna in Finnish culture. It's more than just a hot room—it's a ritual, a reset button, a place where silence speaks volumes and the steam carries away stress. In Finland, the sauna is where friends gather without pretension, families bond without distraction, and solitude is embraced without apology.

That deep connection is what inspired our sauna-themed collection: I'd Rather Be in the Sauna / Bära Bada Bastu 🔥. Each piece celebrates the simplicity and serenity of Finnish sauna culture—and invites you to carry that peaceful, steamy state of mind wherever you are.

The Sauna: A Finnish Institution

In Finland, there are over 3 million saunas—for a population of about 5.5 million. From city apartments to lakeside cabins, the sauna is everywhere. It’s where we go to warm up in the winter and cool off emotionally in any season. It's a space where hierarchy dissolves (everyone sweats the same), and the only dress code is honesty.

Many Finns will tell you that some of their most meaningful conversations happen in the soft hush of the sauna. No phones. No distractions. Just heat, wood, water, and time.

Inspired by Steam and Stillness

Our collection is a love letter to this experience. The t-shirts and sweatshirts in the I'd Rather Be in the Sauna line feature bold, playful prints in both English and Swedish (bära bada bastu = just go sauna, basically). Whether you're lounging at home or strolling through your neighborhood, these pieces are a reminder that sometimes, it's okay to step back, turn up the heat, and do absolutely nothing.

Soft, breathable fabrics meet a mindset of mindfulness. The designs are clean and slightly cheeky—just like the Finnish sense of humor. They're for everyone who knows the joy of a cold plunge after a hot steam, or who dreams of trading emails for eucalyptus branches.

Sauna State of Mind

Wearing one of these pieces isn’t just a style statement. It’s a small rebellion against stress. A quiet manifesto for presence and peace. It says: "Right now, I might be busy—but I'd rather be in Finland. And more specifically, I'd rather be in the sauna."

So whether you’ve got a wood-burning sauna in your backyard or you're still dreaming of your first visit to a Finnish lakeside cottage, we hope this collection brings a little warmth to your day.
