During the time Finland was a part first of Sweden and later of Russia it had no flag of its own, but the national weapon with a lion in yellow on a red background was used frequently.
The current flag with a blue cross on a white background was designed by artists Eero Snellman and Bruno Tuukkanen and officially put into law in 1918 just after the Finnish independence.
We now have a range of products with the Finnish flag on them that you can buy from us at a very reasonable price.
Byholm - Original Clothing and Gift Items is an on-line gift shop started in July 2003 focusing on providing original products not available from mainstream shops and retailers. To accomplish this we use quality products, like t-shirts from hanes, and add our own artwork designed in Finland by the shopowners Simon and Hanna Byholm. In addition to original gift items we also have a section where we sell Framed Prints and Posters with Fine-Art Nature and Landscape Photography from Finland.
