Big news from the PAIKKA Pack! We're thrilled to share that our brand has clinched not one, not two, but three finalist spots in the esteemed Global Innovation Awards (GIA)! And get this – the GIA only has five finalist spots in total, making the achievement even more impressive.
The GIA will be held at The Inspired Home Show (TIHS) in Chicago, where we are set to showcase our latest designs from March 17–19, 2024. Being chosen for the finals highlights our commitment to creating top-of-the-line gear that keeps dogs safe, stylish, and happy. "We are so honored to be recognized as finalists in the Global Innovation Awards. It reflects our team's dedication to pushing boundaries." says Tea Kainu, CEO of PAIKKA.
Our three finalists are:
Glow Leash & Collar – Crafted from fluorescent material, the newest collars and leashes of the collection absorb light and glow brightly in the dark, ensuring visibility in low light conditions, with no need of an external power source.
Raincoat 2.0 – The wind- and waterproof material glows in the dark without any external power source, while also having reflective properties, a signature element of PAIKKA fabrics.
Seawool Shirt – Crafted from upcycled fabric made of oyster shells and recycled plastic bottles, this shirt is a testimony for PAIKKAs ambitions in sustainable design, while also ensuring the dogs comfort with its antibacterial, anti-static and insulating properties.
We want to express our appreciation to our wonderful community of customers and supporters for the love and enthusiasm. The encouragement fuels our commitment to developing innovative products that bring joy and enhancement to dogs’ and their owners’ lives. True to our motto: For the Happiest Dogs in the World.
So, next stop: Chicago! Stay tuned for more updates on the finals and be sure to follow us on social media.
