For the garden and far beyond
This spring, Fiskars – the iconic, world renowned Finnish brand known for its high-quality home and garden tools – teams up with fashion and textile designer Maria Korkeila to launch its first-ever clothing and accessory collection designed for gardening and urban exploring.
Contemporary fashion and functionality go hand-in-hand in the new Fiskars by Maria Korkeila capsule collection, featuring modern garden wear staples rooted in the Nordic design heritage of Fiskars.
“As with all Fiskars design, the basis of the collection is to provide innovative and purposefully designed products that empower everyday creativity,” comments Marika Orkamo, SVP, Brand and Marketing at Fiskars.
The unisex workwear-meets-streetwear collection features 11 must-have styles, ranging from modular clothing to multifunctional bags and accessories. The versatile pieces include a jacket with stab-proof pockets and a detachable hem, hood and sleeves, and a tool belt that can be converted into a modern waist bag, giving a whole new meaning to urban garden wear.
Crafted from organic and recycled materials and vegan leather, the collection showcases bold, nature-inspired prints in a down-to earth colour scheme. All the pieces have been made in the EU by socially responsible suppliers, which also played a big part in bringing the collection to life.
“All Fiskars products are modern by way of tradition, like the iconic Fiskars orange handled scissors,” says designer Maria Korkeila.
“This is the design DNA I wanted to bring into the capsule collection as well.” The Fiskars by Maria Korkeila collection is part of the official Pitti Uomo programme and the Palazzo Finlandese event series launched in 2019 by Juni Communications and SSAW Magazine.
