About us
We, behind the Jute Sack
I am Margit, and my heart beats for craftsmanship and ecology. At my side is my mother Inga, whose hands have woven thousands of stories into rugs and textiles. Together we are a powerhouse that brings handmade and heart-designed items to your home. You are warmly welcome to join our story, which is full of passion, tradition and caring.
Our home workshop is located in Panelia, in the middle of nature. This is where all Juuttisäkki products are created. In silence, craftsmanship and the beauty of nature come together, and we strive to make every rug and every accessory with care and love. In manufacturing, we use sustainable and mostly recyclable materials, because we want to be part of the ecological solution, not the problem.
Personally, my day job is in the office at the computer, but my free time is full of creativity. Sewing, knitting and crocheting are more than just a hobby for me – they are a way to express myself and connect with tradition. Maybe in the future they will be my main job instead of an office job. Being outdoors with my husband and two loyal dogs completes the harmony of my life.
Crafts have been with me since childhood. I earned my student loan by making leather bags in my parents' company. So entrepreneurship is part of my DNA and that of my family. By education, I am a financial management professional, but at heart I am an enterprising craftsman. My mother is a craftsman with a capital C. She is a little under 80 years old, so she has skills that we younger people can only dream of.
It is from this heritage, passion and collaboration that Lahja ja Sisustus Juuttisäkki was born. We want our products to bring you joy and brighten your everyday life, just as making them does to us. Juuttisäkki is a story of Finnishness, responsibility and the joy of making – and of a family joining forces to create something special.
Our mission is to honor Finnish craftsmanship. Our goal is not only to showcase and offer products skillfully made by Finnish craftsmen, but also to preserve and strengthen the appreciation of craftsmanship in modern times.
