Story from
I am Janne Hämäläinen, a second generation craftsman and creative professional. I started making things by hand at an early age. I knew how to use a scissors and a sewing machine even before I went to school, thanks to my mother, who was a textile handicraft teacher. When I was less than ten years old, I got my first knife, which I used to learn how carv e.g. willow pipes. The Corona period restored my interest in handicrafts and I became enthusiastic again about leatherwork and knife making.
I’ve been running my own business on the side for about twenty years now. NORDICVIEW.COM, which started out as a photography business, began operations in early 2005. Hukka Arts & Crafts was established as a secondary business name in 2020. Gradually, however, the name was shortened to its current form, Hukka Craft. The official name, however, remains the longer one.
Products
My products mainly consist of various key rings, but also outdoor and camping accessories. These include different types of fastening straps, which I make from both leather and textile straps. I plan to produce other accessories for backpacks/backpacks. My products are designed for reliability and ease of use, whether you’re travelling, camping, staying in a hotel or a tent. Quality is at the heart of everything I do and the price is reasonable.
Materials
I make my products from the highest-quality materials possible. The leather comes mainly from Italy, home to the world’s best leather companies. I use Finnish leather whenever necessary and whenever possible. I source nearly all of my materials either from Finland or from companies within the EU. I also strive to ensure that as much of the materials as possible are produced within the EU. A small portion comes directly from Taiwan, from the renowned Iwan Leathercraft.
