COLLECTIONS/MALLISTOT: WWCD

Waves Will Calm Down

A.k.a. the new smashing look of spats.

Created from recycled materials and handcrafted in Finland, of course.

(Click for bigger picture! You can also see these pics separately at the end of this post.)

Viivi Vein has designed and created an unique collection where old meats new.

Second hand picked

charming anchor buttons,

edgy plastic coated fabrics,

sweet satin laces,

gorgeus pleathers,

and pretty strings

create a modern wholeness,

whom details has a dash of old time's charm.

The collection is inspired by impulsive storms and glimps of light on a sea,

and also always as fascinating second hand materials finds and those combinations.

Renewed form of the spats tempts you to striking dressing up,

also offering cover to your feet, on all seasons.

The dull looking but the most comfortable heels

are easy to modify as individual eye catchers with spats.

Every 15 pairs on the collection is it's own one-off wholeness,

but also made-to-order custom spats from variable materials are available, fitted to customer's measures.

COLLECTIONS/MALLISTOT: TTCG

 

The Tough Class Gal 

The first glimpse of Viivi Vein clothing.
 

TTCG is a women's cloth and accessory collection,
which was a part of my bachelor's thesis in the spring 2009.

I graduated as a clothes designer.
This collection is almost entirely made of recycled materials, of course!

PRODUCTS/TUOTOKSET: Unique Bags

  
You can find the pics of my unique bags from here.
Kuvat ainutlaatuisista laukuistani löytyy täältä.

My product pics / Tuotoskuvani

Check out my stuff from here! All the albums are on the left menu. There are some sub albums so if you can't see any pics, check again from the left.

Täältä löytyy aikalailla kaikki kuvat! Kaikki albumit näkyvät vasemman reunan menussa. Siellä on myös joitakin alakansioita, joten tsekkaa vasen reuna uudemman kerran jos näyttää ettei kuvia löydy.

My ideology / Ajatusmaailmani

All my products are handcrafted in Finland.

I've made all by myself, except few things on the bachelor's thesis collection*.

So my production is definitely cruelty-free, if spanking myself mentally doesn't count.

My work basis is utilizing recycled materials,

both ecological and ethical as also esthetic and atmospheric reasons.

At the moment I aim to purchasing new materials only when it's necessery.

I rather try to figure out a another solution instead of purchasing new materials.

Challenging but fun!

Recycled materials' uniqueness fascinate me,

because materials finds aren't usually very big.

Vision waking materials are always top finds which make me excited.

I find it delighful if my product's earlier use has been totally something else,

as on table mats ended up to bags (e.g. on the TTCG collection).

When I say that I've made something almost entirely from recycled materials,
I really mean that there is a very small amount of new materials!
E.g. sewing threads or a zipper.
I also prefer including a list of recycled materials I used to the product infos.

If I use any animal based materials,

like leather, wool or silk,

it's always recycled.

SUOMEKSI

Viivi Vein?

I'm a finnish quality production appreciative,

certain subculture insipired and excuisite second hand materials collecting

clothes designer graduated in the spring 2009.

My work is lead by the desire to thrill with my own kind of style

without forgetting the aim to respect humans, animals and nature.

Shortly, my inspiration comes from recycled materials and details of life.

This thing is based on my interests, not on fashion.
On my opion, some stuff, shapes, colours ja atmospheres,
will always be cool what ever time or trend it is.

After all, the keywords are combining, modifying and renewing.
><

At the moment I'm doing this thing as a hobby,
making things that inspire me.
Laidbacked and fair.
