POP UP!

So so deeply sorry for the late post about our Pop-up!
Things have been just so busy ever since, work is demanding, kids are on holiday and when the weathers have been so good we just had to run to our summer cottage and enjoy our "unfortunately short" Finnish summer!

We are so thankful to all of you who came to appreciate our event in Bar Isoroba 10! It was great having you all over there trying out our beautiful garments and shoes while enjoying the, always sunny and happy, Moiklubi (We love you girls and we think you are the best!). We also hope you all who went home with some of it, are having a great time wearing your special piece.


Now we just wait for the next one in Autumn!

Have a super Summer!

Hello everyone! 

After serious while considering what should be our first post, I just got little tired of thinking and decided to post about the subject that's been in the back of my head for a long while (probably not only mine). 

"The difference between vintage, retro and antique"

I have actually, nearly 2 years ago, done some research on the subject, to help my little sister on her final thesis and found out that it can be quite a polemic inquiry. Some people can be very, particular, let's put it like that, about their opinions. During my research I just thought it was quite funny to see all people's reactions when you ask them about it. Some of them were very "strict" to say the least. 

Like one of her teachers, when asked, went completely furious and all red cause we pointed out a 70's dress as a vintage. After that we had to listen to a 30min speech on decade qualification.

But here we come with a few ideas on the matter and obviously, not the absolute true, as opinions diverge quite much.

Antiques - Are to say, works of art, and according to the various customs laws, must have been made at least 100 years ago.  Not any later! An Antique, is an Antique! 

Vintage - Here comes the biggest problems surrounding this matter. The most strict believers say a product should be at least 50 years old to go under the category of "Vintage".

But the most accepted age is, at the current moment, 20 years. So YES, we can all go home happy, pull on our beautiful 80's whatever and go around proudly calling it a Vintage. I just wonder why is it all this obsession with fitting a product under a certain category?!

But that's another question, or another post, haha.

Retro - Well, I guess we all know what's left under that category. Whatever isn't yet "Vintage" or whatever product designed at a current age but under a "Vintage inspiration" - A trendy behavior on design field for a long time now. But we like it, Yes!
