Teepees

Our Story: from teepees to Glamping Tents

Many people may not know that our company, BIGHEAD, actually started by producing teepees before 2014, when the term "glamping" was not even around or at least not very popular and well-known. After 2014, we added glamping tents to our portfolio, and nowadays, we primarily produce and build glamping tents, mostly in Slovenia and Croatia. However, we still like to go back to our roots and make some teepees from time to time.

Versatile teepees for various occasions

We produce different sizes of teepees for various occasions, needs, and customers. Depending on the purpose, teepees can be used as a tent to live in, host events, or simply for kids to play in. Occasionally, we also take on new projects that are new to us, but as long as they are related to canvas and sewing, we gladly accept the challenge.

Websites for teepees and sewing services

We have a special dedicated website just for teepees and another website where you can find more information about the sewing-related services we offer, primarily to locals:

Open to new projects and ideas

When there is no season for building glamping tents and setting up teepees, we are open to new projects and ideas. If you have an idea and are unsure how to put a canvas together, we can help you. With many years of experience in sewing, experienced seamstresses, high-quality canvas, and sewing machines, we are confident that we can assist you with any of your projects, as long as they involve canvas. Feel free to contact us to find out more.

Handmade without mass production

Where sophisticated art and practical functionality meet

Creating such an intricate tipi tent requires meticulous, skilled handwork over several days, supported by years of experience. Each tent is a unique work of art, which is why mass production is not an option.

Crafting teepees is our passion. They are not only sophisticated and authentic but also highly practical. Tent making requires both intuition and technique, and with every project, we introduce new solutions and refinements.

In our artisanal workshop, each tent is crafted individually, using only the finest materials from Europe. Before production begins, we create a scale model and carefully plan every detail. The chosen fabric is precisely cut and stitched with reinforced seams at critical points for added durability. You’ll notice the quality instantly when you touch it.

Due to the precision required and our strict quality inspections, there is no rush in production. We invest significant time, energy, and care into every tent. Each one is an original, handmade piece, making it truly special.

Over 13 years, we have produced over 150 teepees of all types and sizes.
