SPRING SUMMER 2022 MENSWEAR COLLECTIONS
Finland’s nature and countryside are full of magic during midsummer. Finnish pagan beliefs were strongly related to nature and farming, there were simple and practical solutions for everything. I believe that many of the answers for our current problems are right in front of our eyes, in the nature that surrounds us. – Rolf Ekroth
