What Does TAUKO Mean?

At the heart of everything we do lies a single, powerful word: TAUKO.

Coming from Finnish, tauko means a pause, a break—a quiet moment set aside for yourself. It’s a gentle invitation to slow down, to breathe, and to create with intention. Whether you're threading a needle or cutting out a new pattern, TAUKO is about making space for creativity in the rhythm of everyday life.

We believe that crafting is more than just making clothes—it’s a way of connecting with ourselves, our values, and the world around us. It’s about choosing what we wear, how it’s made, and the stories we stitch into every seam.

That’s the spirit behind TAUKO Magazine, and now, it’s also the message carried in our newest surprise for premium subscribers.

A Special Gift: The TAUKO Sewing Tag 🧵

We’re excited to share that we’ve created a custom woven TAUKO sewing tag, designed especially for our premium subscribers. This small but meaningful label reflects the essence of TAUKO:

[tauko] – a pause, a break—a moment to create with intention.

Produced by Finnish Tuotenauha (@tuotenauha), a family-run company known for their exceptional craftsmanship since 1948, this tag is a beautiful addition to your handmade garments. It’s a subtle, sewn-in reminder of why we create.

All premium subscribers—new and current—will receive five TAUKO sewing tags with Issue No.15.
This tag is not available for purchase—it’s our exclusive gift to say thank you for being part of the TAUKO community.

📦 New premium subscriptions begin with Issue No.15, shipping from launch day on 15 April.
