Our Story

My name is Kaitlin and I am the founder of Fin Fin Designs!

This business began as something deeply personal. After the unimaginable loss of my son, Finley, I turned to sewing as a way to cope and heal. What started as quiet moments of stitching for therapy soon grew into a creative passion. I began making gifts for family and friends, finding joy in crafting something meaningful with my hands. 

It wasn't until a "high-end" bag I purchased fell apart after just a month that an idea sparked: why not create beautiful, lasting accessories myself - using thrifted or secondhand materials? Today, every piece I make carries a sense of purpose, sustainability and love. Each one is a small reminder that from grief and loss, beauty and resilience can grow. 

Fin Fin was my sons nickname and so, I share this with you in his honour.
