What my customers have to say

I have been lucky enough to have several Tuija originals join my collection over the years. Their beauty and quality coupled with upcycled fabric are timeless in a world of fast fashion and excess. Tuija is always a pleasure to do business with and makes sure her customers are satisfied with their purchases.

Tuija's silk scarves are beautiful, authentic, and made locally. I love her generosity in sharing the design process, and the local plants used in each creation. Highly recommend these artful products!

Eliza J, Thunder Bay

I love giving Tuija’s work as gifts to the people I love. There’s a naturally-dyed scarf or piece of clothing for everyone on my list. In all she does, Tuija’s care and attention to detail make her work unique. Shopping direct from her studio gives me the added satisfaction of supporting the planet and a wonderful artist.
