Turuil ja toreil wallet, yellow

The name of our city travelled from ancient Russian language, where tŭrgŭ was a word for a market place or important market town. This word was taken into finnish language, and slowly it became synonymous with Finlands most important market town and thus it got the name Turku. Finnish word for market place came from the other side, the swedish word "torg" which turned into "tori" in finnish. So the similarity of the two words with similar meanings have nothing to do with each other! The original meaning of the name Turku is now long forgotten, but still lives within sayings like "maailman turuilla ja toreilla" (around the worlds' market places and market squares).

Our wallets are made in our own studio right by the riverside of Turku!
