Information

Great to have you here! Unavaate.fi is an Finnish online store where you can find a wide range of products, especially for the little ones in the family. More and more parents of small babies have chosen the best muslin products, waffle stroller curtains, and other essential items for baby life from Una's selection.

In addition to baby accessories, Una offers high-quality bathrobes and handmade bow ties for all ages. Bow ties made from paper leather or cork are perfect for family matching and are a long-lasting investment.

Una's products are designed to be multifunctional and long-lasting. For example, the popular Syli muslin blanket works wonderfully as a swaddle for babies, a play mat, or an adult’s travel towel. We want our products to withstand use, and we test them before adding them to our selection. The products are made in a small workshop in Tallinn, and all the bow ties are produced at our location in Lempäälä. We aim to offer you the best quality in both products and service!

In January 2024, we moved to new premises in Lempäälä's Realpark. We welcome you to shop in-store as well. All the products available online can also be found in the store, and we have a generous outlet table with a rotating selection of items

When a hobby becomes a job

Sewing was a significant and cherished hobby for Anu, the entrepreneur, for a long time. We gathered with a group of friends to sew together, and at home, the sewing machine was always set up in a corner of the table. Over the years, my sewing hobby grew stronger; my first projects were simple beanies that I made using my mother’s machines. As my skills improved, I occasionally received guidance from a teacher.

Suddenly, I found myself promising to make products on order as well. The ordering process through messages was slow and complicated. This led to the idea of starting an online store. Initially, children's clothing was the focus, but as more people wanted to buy baby products like muslins, stroller curtains, and bow ties, that shifted. The order volume grew, and as an entrepreneur, I found myself facing the impossible—there just wasn’t enough time for everything! Fortunately, we found a great subcontracting sewing workshop in Tallinn. Nowadays, the sewing machines in my workspace are used for making samples and other items, as all the sewing work is done in Tallinn.

The business is expanding

In the fall of 2021, Anu's family was expecting a baby. The business and the workload had grown tremendously, and Anu found herself in quite a bind. Anu's sister Ellu was studying in Jyväskylä. Initially, Anu jokingly asked Ellu, 'Would you come work for Una?' but suddenly it became a reality. Ellu started at Una in September and jumped right into the deep end. She took on responsibilities and worked with an entrepreneurial spirit. This was a huge relief for Anu. There was someone else who understood the ins and outs, so she didn’t have to handle everything alone.

In addition to Ellu and Anu, the company employs 1-3 part-time people for order picking and packing in the online store. With the 'Thank you for your order' card, you can see who packed your order with love.
