Let customers speak for us
I am deeply impressed by Utku’s commitment to quality and values. The sweater I purchased at a Christmas market is beautifully made, soft, and comfortable—even though I am usually unable to wear wool. It has proven to be the perfect garment for our Manitoba winter, and the vibrant orange shade is truly lovely.
What makes Utku exceptional is not only the craftsmanship but also the mission behind the brand. Utku supports Indigenous communities and women artisans in Ecuador through long‑term, fair trade partnerships that provide secure, dignified wages. Each piece is created with intention, honouring generations of tradition while embracing the principles of slow fashion, transparency, and cultural preservation.
My favourite detail of all is the tag: it carries the photo of the woman who knitted the garment. This simple yet powerful gesture beautifully honours the artisans and makes the connection between maker and wearer deeply meaningful.
Utku is more than clothing—it is a way to preserve culture, empower communities, and wear something that truly matters.
It's lovely. Can wear as a sun dress on summer or for layering rest of year.
They are cute and my kid likes them another button on the straps would be great But I am moving it up to a shorter length.
Love it
Very comfortable
As a woman, I will say you will want to size down
But its such a unique button up and beautiful colour, i’m glad I snagged one before this colour is gone
Classic look, comfy!
These pants fit and wear so well! The colour is so rich and the deep pockets are fabulous !
Love Love Love 💗💗💗
Well made, solid colours, very comfortable.
Hands down the best sweater I’ve ever owned!
I wasn’t sure what to expect from baby alpaca wool, but I’m beyond impressed. This sweater feels lightweight but keeps me incredibly warm, even on chilly Winnipeg nights.
Got it at a pop-up up and I'm so glad I bought it! Its the only toque that’s not itchy at all and super light.
I got a pair for my husband and he loves them! plus they get softer after you wash them.
I got this dress in burgundy and I love it! It has movement, it’s lightweight and you can either dress it up or make it super casual and even use it during winter with a nice long sleeve.
I use them all the time at home and now that's winter I can go skating with super soft and cozy feet 🦙🎿
I bought this sweater a few weeks ago and I basically live in it now. It’s the comfiest thing I own and it’s super cute. Beyond happy with it :)
I love this top. It fits true to size and it's great quality. It will make a nice breezy top in the summer, but the cotton is heavy enough to wear in the winter under a sweater. Definitely recommend!
