ABOUT MINNA

It all started in the beautiful Dorset countryside in the UK where Finnish designer Minna Hepburn started collecting lace, brooches, buttons and other beautiful finds from strolling around local antique markets. She then started making tops and dresses from Scottish lace and embellishing them with her beloved findings.

Her tops and dresses with their intricate detailing soon found their way into a few prestigious shops. Encouraged by this, she decided to design a small collection of pieces that would embrace some of the things she loves: antique market finds, beautiful textiles, lace and the environment.

Since the beginning, Minna was determined to minimise the impact on the environment by using organic, fair trade and recycled materials wherever possible. All her designs are handmade in a fair trade compliant studio in the UK and Minna ensures that no material gets wasted in the production process since all remnants are used to embellish OR finish the garments.

Minna is stocked in the UK (most recently snapped up by Harrods)  & the US, and now in Australia exclusively at Eco Fashionista. Pure eco luxury......
