PAPU DESIGN — papu design

Before the first Papu collection was launched in 2012 and the idea of the whole Papu lifestyle was founded, the mission was clear: we wanted to make the best choices possible! Since day one we have made long lasting clothing for kids and adults, always from the high-quality sustainable materials, with the best environmentally conscious partners. The production happening in Europe makes it easy for us to ensure the good working conditions in our factories. Designed with love in Finland – Made with care in the EU.

QUALITY One of our core values is quality and we want to include it to everything we do. We believe, that the most sustainable garment is the long lasting one.   CREATIVE We believe that creative people make the world a better place to live. We are ready to take risks when creating new, especially when we feel that old ways don’t work anymore. We hope that our creations and designs will bring you a lot of joy and happiness!

Maybe you need to look for the head of a rainbow...
