Hello, it is time for felt!



Felt has not been the first thing to pop into your mind during the hot weeks we have enjoyed in Finland during this summer, but now we all are ready for felt news.
The felt footwear factory Lahtiset - a family company established in 1921 by the farmer Alex Lahtinen in Jämsä - made a lucky choice some years ago asking the Finnish shoe designer Aki Choklat to create a new attitude to the hand-made felt boots.
The result has been a success. – Without Aki we would have not survived, says the grandson Jukka Lahtinen who is now running the factory with his sister Riitta.
The Vimeo film by Christian Trippe invites you to see the story of handmade felt products and the wonderful scenery of Finland, enjoy!
Check the whole Lahtiset collection – sneakers, boots and bags by Aki Choklat, new bags and backbags by Jonas Hakaniemi and the factory classics - here
