The scarf
Pieniä unelmia (Dreamlike Life), 55 x 55 cm.
The
opening night of Marja Kurki flagship store in Helsinki. A lot of guests,
friends and associates, smiles and chatter. Glass, mirrors, lovely colors and
shine of silk scarves, ties, bags, umbrellas...
And there in the middle of the shop stands a happy lady, Marja Kurki herself, and a bit further away stands a happy man, her son Tapani Kurki, CEO of Marja Kurki Ltd.
You know the story about a man who sold sand to Sahara? Well, Marja Kurki is the lady who sold – and the company still does - Chinese silk to China.

It all
started almost 40 years ago, when Marja Kurki got fascinated in silk and
decided to design silk accessories for
women and men.
There has
been a lot of water running in Vantaanjoki since then, but now Marja Kurki
company is again a family owned business, doing well.
Cheers to
the successful future of the Finnish Design and Marja Kurki!
