Girl power in Finnish shoe design


Minna Parikka had her own shoe company first in her teenage dreams and then in reality 2005. After years of hard work and faith in her talent her brand is now pretty well-known all over fashionable world.
Technically speaking her shoes and boots and sneakers are footwear, in reality they are style, fun and joy of living.
A couple of weeks ago Minna was nominated for The Young Designer 2014 by Design Forum Finland as a young designer of exceptionally original and high-standard skills, and a lovely collection of her shoes is  now on display Design Forum Showroom, Erottajankatu 9B (inner courtyard), Helsinki, until 14.9.
More Minna´s new shoes you find in her shop Minna Parikka Universum in Aleksanterinkatu 36, 00100 Helsinki.
Sanna Kantola from LUMI company has until now been more known for the beautiful quality bags and accessories but now she is designing shoes as well. The inspiration to the first footwear collection came from a traditional Finnish boot.
The new Lumi Shoe Store is situated in Kiseleffin talo Unioninkatu 27, Helsinki.
