When I first found Minna's work, I almost passed out. I was updating myself like usual scrolling down facehunter and poof Minna posing with one of her shell shaped bags (sigh).
I definately had a "are you kidding me, a two tone shell shaped bag!!?%$#?" kind of moment I found her site and couldn't believe shoes and handbags could be well made classy creative in our time period.
Once I read more about her in "New Arrivals 12 Finnish Fashion Designers" it all became clear she says her "Inspiration comes from old clothes, and all the times of the past, when women were lovely. All the colors in the photographs, and the feeling, the feeling of old times"
Genius
various pictures from her website and others
I of course wanted to visit her. I went to her newly opened shop and felt a little embarrassed and nerdy I think I unintentionally had celebrity shock luckily she recognized me and said hello
I nerdily asked if I could take pictures of her store and herself
we chatted about herself Helsinki the shoes I chose
The whole time we talked I observed her adorable hair perfect dress perfect jewelry
She explained that she and her family completely renovated her little boutique filled with pink stripes keyholes That made me love her more.
Me + Minna
