Materials and Customization

At Poppanachic, every design starts with the fabric. We design our own patterns, which is why our textiles are so distinctive. Fashion is about joy, beauty, and carefully considered design. Each garment is crafted with care, using materials chosen for their quality and character. Our collections are made to last beyond passing trends – clothing that feels as good as it looks. Every Poppanachic piece carries the spirit of Finnish craftsmanship, blending durability with distinctive design.

Welcome to explore the exquisite materials of Poppanachic!

 

Traditional Poppana – a valued textile from South Karelia – was the main material in the early years of our company and inspired the development of new materials. Poppana, also known by names such as rököraanu, rääpälvaate, rääsäle, and nukeri, is made by cutting cotton diagonally into thin ribbons, creating a soft and textured surface. Today, poppana mainly serves as a decorative element, while velvet and denim are the primary materials in our collections. Its distinctive texture adds a touch of history to our designs and serves as a reminder that everything starts with the fabric – and it is from this poppana that our brand takes its name.

 

Bloom Jacquard Cotton Velvet – featuring a subtle floral pattern that rises elegantly from the fabric. The fabric is woven in natural white and dyed in the shades we choose. Soft and luxurious, this material is carefully crafted in Lithuania, reflecting our close collaboration with a skilled product development team to ensure high quality. Our velvet garments have been particularly well received in Japan, where clean design and beautiful materials are highly appreciated.

 

Bloom Jacquard Denim – denim that is always chic. Bloom blossoms in denim too, of course! The Poppanachic denim is jacquard-woven, with the worn look carefully created using selected yarn colors and patterns. It is produced in collaboration with the same Lithuanian weaving mill we work with for our velvet fabrics. The denim is available in two color options, dark and light, depending on which side of the fabric is used. The material consists of 41% cotton, 15% Tencel, 29% viscose, and 13% recycled denim. Experience the future of denim.

Bloom Merino Wool - Our Bloom knits, made from fine merino wool, draw their charm from a multicolored pattern that gives each piece its own character. The Bloom pattern is carefully knitted in Tampere by Agtuvi Oy, using only the finest mulesing-free merino wool, Oeko-Tex certified. The yarn is spun in Italian mills and sourced from New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina. Soft and gentle against the skin, these knits invite you to wrap yourself in warmth and comfort, making every wear a cozy, stylish experience.

 

Bloom Merino-Cotton Mix
The Bloom knit pattern, combining merino wool and cotton, was developed in collaboration with Orneule Oy. Orneule is Finland’s largest knit fabric manufacturer, producing around half a million kilos of fabric annually at its factory in Orivesi. The pattern’s base is merino wool, while the floral motifs are knitted from cotton yarn. The knit is lightweight and perfect for layering under a jacket.

 

Bloom digitally printed viscose – The Bloom pattern is digitally printed and rises above the ordinary; its metallic sheen reflects a subtle glamour. The multicolored design is executed on luxurious, silky viscose fabric and is available in two shades. The material pairs beautifully with our velvet collection, complementing each piece when creating complete outfits. We have also crafted bespoke velvet jackets, where the Bloom viscose lining serves as a refined finishing detail.

 

Bloom digitally printed linen – The Bloom pattern is also digitally printed on linen, a beautiful and timeless material. The fabric is naturally airy, fresh, and breathable, and the soft color palette of the pattern highlights the refined and natural character of the linen. Linen pairs beautifully with our denim garments, creating a chic and harmonious combination of denim and linen.

Having trouble finding the perfect fit? The sleeve is too short, the pant leg too long, and the garment doesn’t sit right. We also offer customization services. We regularly create tailored pieces for our customers in Japan, and we can help you as well if you want to adjust a Poppanachic garment to your measurements. Customers can also choose the color and material from the available options for an existing Poppanachic piece.

Sewing facility in Tampere, Finland

Nestled in the heart of Tampere, Finland, lies our sewing facility, where history and innovation intertwine seamlessly. With a rich textile heritage dating back to the 19th century, Tampere earned its place as a textile powerhouse, affectionately dubbed the "Manchester of the North." Fueled by the abundant water resources of the Tammerkoski rapids, the city's cotton mills and textile production thrived during the industrial revolution. Though the industry has evolved over time, Tampere's legacy in textiles remains steadfast.
