Sustainable &
natural clothing brand

We use carefully chosen organic fabrics. Our main _Collection & _Sample clothing are made of ecologically produced fabrics that are either GOTS or OCS certified. 

For our _Vintage clothing we use drifted materials; either recycled fabrics or recycled clothing.

  • Carefully chosen organic fabrics (GOTS or OCS certified). Organic fabrics breath well and give you a natural feeling in your garment.

    Season clothes are “made to order” which means that a new piece of clothing is produced only when there is already an owner to it. This way we do our part on avoiding surplus in the textile industry. This also gives customer a possibility to place an order according to their own measurement wishes. Always check the possibility to order according to your own measurement wishes in prior at info@annaarchive.com

  • Vintage materials are drifted. We pre-wash all vintage fabrics with gentle & ecological detergent.

    Vintage clothes are one or few of a kind. Vintage pieces are unique and only available in the existing size. Check the measurement description in the product card (found in the pictures on the garment description). When Vintage products are sold out they are not available to be ordered anymore.

  • Carefully chosen organic fabrics (GOTS or OCS certified) that breath well and give you a natural feeling in your garment. We produce Sample clothes when experimenting fabrics and designs for the next Collection.

    Sample clothes are always one of a kind. Sample pieces are unique and only available in the existing size. Check the measurement description in the product card (found in the pictures on the garment description). When Sample products are sold out they are not available to be ordered anymore. Sample pieces does not always end up to the Webshop but are available at Pop-up events. Check out the next event on our calendar.

We use carefully chosen organic fabrics. In organic agriculture the production process sustains the health of ecosystems, soils and people. There is a lot of research done before finding a perfect fabric for each clothing piece. We order samples to be sure about the texture and colour shades, then test-wash all the fabrics (without detergent) to see how the fabric reacts. After that we make a sample of a design and possible corrections before the design ends up to the Collection. 

Collection & Sample clothes are made of ecologically produced fabrics that are either GOTS or OCS certified. This means that the manufacturing of a fabric is environmentally and socially responsible. We choose organic fabrics also because they breath well and feel good & natural on the skin.

Vintage clothes are made of drifted materials; either recycled fabrics or recycled clothes. 

Vintage clothes’ design process often starts with the fabric. When finding a beautiful fabric that still has its texture steady, the design of a new piece of clothing can start. It is important to examine how the fabric descends in order to know what kind of a garment it is suitable for.

We mainly produce by demand. This way we produce something new when there is already an owner to it. 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 a perfect size from the ready models, send us an email: 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 in Finland by Anna Karvo.

About us

We think that choosing ecological fabrics is the only way to produce something new to a world full of goods. We care about the future of the Planet and that is why every fabric we decide to use, is carefully chosen. The newly produced fabrics that we use are always certified as organic. GOTS certificate is highly standard what it comes to environmental and social responsibility. The design and production is handmade in Helsinki, Finland by Anna Karvo. Organic fabric maintains its quality well in everyday use and we think it is important to have durable clothes that also can be recycled.

Feel good in your clothes - Our vision is to feel comfortable and you in your clothes without compromising the style. Doing careful research when choosing fabrics is important because the material has a big impact on the fit and how the cloth feels in use. Besides the environmental questions, we choose organic fabrics because they breath well and feel good & natural on the skin. Our designs are often loose fit and some of the garments are one size. This way the recycling of a garment is easier. 

We value simple silhouettes in design. Our clothes are designed to suit several occasions and their purpose is to make life easier. We think that life is easier if you can wear the same piece of clothing from dawn till dusk just by making small changes to your accessories. Simple silhouettes give you freedom to accessories the outfit according to your own style / mood / vibe.

We do not want to produce things to stand in the stock but instead, to bring handmade products to customers as “made to order”.  We do our part on avoiding surplus in the textile industry by mainly producing by demand. This way we only produce something new when there is already an owner to it. This makes it also possible to order “made to measure”. We value a good fit of a garment a lot because nothing feels and looks better than a garment that fits well. There is no need to own too many clothes when you have the right ones.

We avoid surplus fabric by using leftovers to make accessories. All our packing is either biodegradable or compostable.
