REFLECTIVE ACCESSORIES Moiko is best known for our reflective accessories. This collection has been created to make us all more visible by integrating beautiful, innovative reflecting designs to everyday accessories. When we walk outside, our hands move and heads turn, and this makes our reflective elements sparkle in the dark when lights shine on them. By wearing Moiko’s reflective mittens and beanies, you’ll sparkle, too! Remember to also use CE-approved reflectors. The Reflective hands collection won the Honourable Mention award at the 2017 Red Dot design competition.

FO R A L L Moiko’s collection includes accessories for men and women, children and adults, and everyone in between. We know that defining the target group as everyone is not advisable, but we still do it, because everyone really does benefit from wearing reflective details in their outfits when spending time outside in the dark. And especially details that are designed

”Stoic yet soft.”
M AT E R I A LS & P R O D U CT I O N We aim to use only natural high-quality materials. Most of our products are made of mulesing-free merino wool from New Zealand. Merino wool is considered luxurious, as it is very warm and soft on your skin. The reflective prints are made in Scandinavia and are also of high quality. At the moment, 80% of our production is in Finland. The knitting is done in Finland, and we do most of the printing in our own production line in Helsinki, Finland. The rest of production, for example the sewing, is done in the Baltic region, mainly in Estonia.

R I E M U MOI Let’s travel back to the roots of Moiko. It all started with moi, which means “hello” in Finnish. Finland is known for people who don’t talk that much. Even saying hello might be hard to do. That is why we decided to use our skills as designers to make saying hello easier. We established Moiko in 2010 with Greeting mittens as our first product. Curiosity towards all cultures and different ways of saying hello are still very important to us.
Moiko begins collaboration with Moomin Characters. Tove Jansson has always been our great idol. The set of values and worldviews reflected in her Moomin stories have resonated with us particularly strongly, and those values seem as fresh today, as they have done over the decades. People of all ages are inspired by the Moomin stories, and as we grow older we find new layers and depths in them. With the new Moiko x Moomin collaboration we produce high-quality merino wool mittens and beanies knitted in Finland. Familiar figures wanted to approach the Moomin world in this first collaborative collection with a strong focus on our values, and we did this by emphasizing the diversity of characters in the Moomin world and their courage to show emotions.

K A M U M O I KO P R O D U CT C A R E There is no need to wash your merino wool products often because they are naturally antibacterial. But when you do wash them, do it by hand in cold water or on the wool cycle of the washing machine in max. 30ยบC. A gentle wool shampoo or detergent will help merino wool last longer. We recommended that you stretch the product gently into shape after washing, and for our beanies you can use steam ironing to restore them back to their original shape. The reflective print is washable. By taking care of the product, it will last longer and keep you warm for years to come.
