Kaksi-tva
DESIGNERS
Designer duo Marjo Kuusinen and Piia Keto run together the fashion brand
KAKSI-TVÅ from Helsinki.
Keto and Kuusinen met at a punk gig in a small Finnish town over 10 years
ago. They have known each other for so long already that designing
together is effortless and their designs fit together seamlessly.
THE BEGINNING
In 2005 KAKSI-TVA started off as a small-scale experiment in jewellery and
bag designing. The name of the brand consists of the word two both in
finnish and in swedish. They came up with the name when they met a pair of
Finnish Swede twins whose dissimilar personalities inspired them as
designers.
The popularity of their designs exceeded all expectations and the duo
decided to start building their brand in earnest. KAKSITVÅ expanded their
collection to include men and women’s wear as well as home décor items.
Their aim was from the beginning to combine both designer´s humorous
lifestyle with commercially profitable products.
CONCEPT
KAKSITVA’s ideology is formed by friendship, humour, co-operation and
mutual understanding. The energy put into making their designs shows is
clearly visible in the products. One can tell from KAKSI-TVÅ’s clothes that
the duo has fun designing together. The inspiration to their work comes
from everything that happens around them – the life on the streets of
Helsinki.
COLLECTION
KAKSITVÅ’s collection includes home decor, clothes, bags, jewellery and
other accessories. KAKSITVÅ’s strength lies in the use of patterns that
make their designs spectacular and gives them a unique air. In their
products are also visible the insights into everyday life that make
KAKSITVA so special. Their collection is ‘casual Friday everyday’. The
products are down-to-earth and exciting.
DOUBLE TROUBLE FOREVER!
