Mary a. jalava is a small Helsinki-based accessories brand that has become known for its printed tights that delight the street scene. The products are designed and printed by hand with the power of good coffee and music.
The brand was founded in the summer of 2009 when designers Miira Zukale and Veera Moilanen combined their ideas and visual world into a common clothing and accessories collection. Behind the illustrative prints is the textile designer Miira Zukale, whose printed patterns of the products are drawn by hand.
Mary a. jalava is the alter ego of its founders, whose products' moods reflect issues and values important to designers, such as local tourism, appreciation of urban nature, flea market finds and vegetable farming. In the illustrative prints of the products, you can find forest animals, gentle hummingbirds, park trees and green plants.
