Pikku Ilo was founded on May 10, 2021, in response to the pandemic, with the goal of assisting people in staying safe in a fun and practical way. At first, we designed and made cotton masks with filter pockets, which proved really popular with customers all over New Zealand. 

We offered a unique and enjoyable way to stay safe during a difficult time. Sadly, the government introduced new regulations, which meant we had to stop making cotton masks. But that didn't stop us from focusing on what we do best: producing theater scrub hats. In fact, theater scrub hats have always been our main focus; before starting Pikku Ilo, I was already making them! 

As we've grown and evolved, we've decided to put all our efforts into making high-quality, stylish theater scrub hats that meet the needs of healthcare professionals throughout New Zealand. 

Our hats now come with the added feature of embroidered names and positions to help in emergency situations in the theater. We're really passionate about what we do, and we're committed to providing the best possible service to our customers. We hope our theater scrub hats will make a real difference to healthcare professionals across the country!   

These hats are perfect not only for surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, and dentists but also for veterinarians, lab technicians, and anyone working in cleanroom environments.

We're Pikku Ilo, and we're experts in making top-quality, handmade 100% cotton theatre scrub hats. Our hats are made with great care and attention to detail, and we offer a wide range of patterns and colours to suit every taste. We're always looking for new designs and styles to keep our customers happy and provide them with plenty of choice.

As a home-based business, we're able to offer a personal touch and make each hat to order, according to our customers' individual needs. That means we can even embroider their name and position onto the hat for a truly personalised touch. 

We take great pride in what we do, and we're committed to providing excellent service and high-quality products to all our customers. We believe our theatre scrub hats are the perfect choice for healthcare professionals looking for comfort, style, and practicality in their workwear.
