Sustainable clothing brand, based in Helsinki.
We value natural feeling, high quality and timeless design. All our fabrics are ecological and carefully chosen to last a long time. Loose fits and simple silhouettes leave room to accessorise the outfit according to your own style / mood / vibe and to suit several occasions. There is no need to own too many clothes when you have the right ones.
“Season” and “Kids” clothes are available to order in different sizes and in several quantities. “Vintage”, “Prototype” and “Accessories” are unique pieces - only one or few the same.

Sustainable
All fabrics we use are organic, made of recycled materials or are recycled fabrics. We mainly produce “made to order” to minimise waste. Many of our designs are one size, not only for the comfortable, loose fit but also because that makes recycling of a garment easier.
We think that choosing organic fabrics is the only way to produce something new to a world full of goods. Besides the environmental questions, we choose organic and natural fabrics as they breath well and feel comfortable on the skin.
All our fabrics are carefully chosen. The newly produced fabrics that we use are always organic and dyed with ecological dyes only. All our fabric suppliers provide certified fabrics (GOTS or OCS). Organic fabrics are manufactured by using organic production system from fibre to fabric stage. When farming organically, fibres are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilisers or toxic chemicals. GOTS certificate is highly restrictive and besides the content of the fabric it examines also specific social and environmental requirements. All our packaging is either biodegradable or compostable.

Timeless
Designed to last a long time with durable materials and simple silhouettes. Our fabrics are carefully chosen to last a long time in everyday use. Simple silhouettes give freedom to accessorise the outfit to suit several occasions and designs are not tied to current trends but they are thought to work well for years.

Handmade
We mainly produce by demand. This way we only produce something new when there is already an owner to it. Every piece is carefully designed, cut & sewed to last a long time in everyday use. We do not want to produce things to stand in the stock but instead, to bring handmade products to customers.
This also makes it possible for customer to order “made to measure”. If you do not find perfect size from the ready models, send an email to info@annaarchive.com to check the possibility to order according to your own curve / length wishes - Look is good when the fit is right!
All our clothes are designed, cut and handmade by Anna Karvo.
