About

Poppanachic stands as a Finnish-based wear and accessories brand driven by a profound passion for patterns and fashion. Our core ethos revolves around crafting styles that evoke delight, seamlessly blending woven, knitted, and printed patterns into timeless classic silhouettes.

Our vision at Poppanachic is to emerge as a globally captivating creator celebrated for our unique patterns and distinctive designs. We aspire to be a chic essential. Proudly inheriting and perpetuating the rich weaving and pattern legacy of the family enterprise Unica Fashion, which has flourished since its establishment in 1981, Unica Fashion’s brands include Liisamaria and Unica, and the company has notably been supplying products to Japanese importers since 1995.

Each fabric and knitwear pattern is meticulously crafted from scratch by our dedicated team. We foster crucial partnerships both within Finland and across Europe, collaborating closely to procure the exclusive fabrics integral to our creations.

In Tampere, we boast a flagship store where we not only showcase our collection but also offer personalized products tailored to our customers' preferences and measurements.

The story of Poppanachic began in 2020 when Liisa Pikkujämsä and Katri Kuukkanen met. Katri was captivated by the fabrics from Liisa’s company and their potential, and her passion for patterns and clothing gave rise to a new brand: Poppanachic. Later, Elina Takkinen joined the design team, and her expertise and experience further enriched the brand’s creative development.

Liisa Pikkujämsä, an award-winning Finnish designer, has built a long career as an entrepreneur and designer at Unica Fashion. Katri Kuukkanen holds a Master of Arts in textile design and a degree in textile and apparel engineering, with versatile expertise in visual and technical pattern design, graphic design, and creating custom-made garments. Elina Takkinen is a trained tailor and seamstress with extensive experience in designing and producing demanding, high-end fashion pieces. Together, Elina and Katri design the Poppanachic collection, each contributing their own unique expertise. The brand is also influenced by five other creative professionals, each enriching Poppanachic with their individual vision.

The brand's pattern, Bloom, blossomed in jacquard velvet, denim, merino wool knits, and linen. In autumn 2023, we debuted our collection at CIFF in Copenhagen.
