About Us

How we came about

The world is broken and it breaks all of us. Only together we can repair the damages we have caused. Paikka Paikka was born of both anxiety and inspiration. It was born at a workshop, in the middle of dust and sweat – and smiles.

We made a place for people, who work by hand. Tomorrow is beyond screens.We believe that great movements start with small actions. Actions we all can take, today.

Our resources on this planet aren't infinite. Instead of buying new ones, we need to learn to repair, up-cycle and recycle our jeans, shoes, phones and household items. So help the world – and do wonders to your mental health. 

You can’t fix everything.
But you can fix something.
