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......
