I wish I could visit Finland and meet
Piksi,
Irene Adler and go to the
Midnight Sun Film Festival. So much wonderfulness originates from Finland: Kaurismäki, Moomins, Aalto, Finnish Tango, Marimekko,
Nanso: "Nanso, since its beginnings as a dyehouse [in 1921], has gradually grown over the decades to achieve its current status as the second largest company in the Finnish clothing industry. Nanso products are the creations of local designers, produced with respect for nature and human dignity. [...]
Nanso [...] makes all its products locally - from thread, to fabric, and all the way to the final product - at its plant in the town of Nokia in Finland. [...] Last year, Nanso introduced a collection made from Fairtrade Cotton, the first of its kind in the Nordic countries. [...] The Fairtrade Cotton used in this collection, which is manufactured in Finland, comes from Cameroon in Western Africa. The cotton is spun into thread in Turkey. [...] "Our objective in the long term is to use Fairtrade Cotton in the production of all our clothes," says Pertti Lahervuori, CEO of the Nanso Group." (quoted from www.nansogroup.com)
Nanso can be bought via

Ich wünschte, ich könnte nach Finnland reisen,
Piksi und
Irene Adler treffen und das
Midnight Sun Festival besuchen. Finnland ist zauberhaft: Kaurismäki, die Mumins, Aalto, Finnischer Tango, Marimekko und
Nanso. Das Unternehmen Nanso wurde 1921 als Lohnfärberei gegründet und ist mittlerweile das zweitgrößte Bekleidungsunternehmen Finnlands. Die Nanso Kollektionen werden von finnischen Designern entworfen und in Finnland produziert. 2007 wurde die erste Fairtrade Baumwollkollektion vorgestellt. Die Baumwolle kommt aus Kamerun und wird in der Türkei versponnen. Langfristig sollen alle Nanso Produkte aus Fairtrade Baumwolle hergestellt werden, sagt CEO Pertti Lahervuori.

A very lazy copy and paste post this one but I am busy, busy, busy: "Organic Stereo is an independent ethical fashion label founded in 2008 by accomplished fashion designer Marie Rendina. [...] The overall look is feminine and metropolitan, with a sense of playfulness and vintage flair. [...] The cotton used for our Spring-Summer 08 collection was organically grown and spun in Turkey, everything else (knitting, dying, printing and manufacturing) made in Porto (Portugal), before being shipped to our warehouse in the UK. This considerably reduces the transport of goods and therefore its impact on the environment."
