KAKSITVÅ

DOUBLE TROUBLE since 2005!

KAKSITVÅ is an accessory brand, which brings the party with them. Even in a bowling tournament where they were invited a new award were found in order to obtain the award-winning team KAKSITVÅ. After a trip to Mexico they got their own skate team in Oaxaca. KAKSITVÅ´s promoters in Costa Rica have taped Mid-America with KAKSITVÅ label stickers. And when
KAKSITVÅn designers met the Danish Crown Princess Mary, they made her feel relaxed by asking, “What’s up Mary?”

Designer duo Marjo Kuusinen and Piia Keto run together the accessory brand KAKSITVÅ from Helsinki, Finland. KAKSITVÅ products include an entire lifestyle. The collection consists of clothing, jewelry, bags and accessories. In addition, KAKSITVÅ product family includes household items such as pillows, chairs, and tablewear.

In 2005 KAKSITVÅ started off as a small-scale experiment in jewelry and bag designing. The popularity of their designs exceeded all expectations and the duo decided to start building their brand in earnest.

The inspiration to their work comes from everything that happens around them –countryside life mixed to the adventures around the world. In their spare time designers thrive in the Helsinki nightlife, rapping and searching for the after parties.

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-Swedish twins whose dissimilar personalities inspired them as designers.

One can tell from KAKSITVÅ’s product that the duo has fun designing together. KAKSITVÅ’s strength lies in the use of daring prints and innovations that make their designs spectacular and gives them a unique air. In each collection KAKSITVÅ combines recycled and new materials together.

KAKSITVÅ collections have been presented in the fashion trade shows abroad since 2008. KAKSITVÅ has had an honor to be elected in Copenhagen, CPH Vision, Paris, Who’s Next? and Berlin, Bread & Butter trade show. Thanks to the trade shows KAKSITVÅ has found new interesting foreign dealers and got a lot of media attention. The collection is sold in Finland in Helsinki, Turku, Tampere and Oulu.
