Materials and Customization

 

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.

 

Customization Services

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.

 

Visit the Poppanachic Shop or contact our customer service at info@unicafashion.fi, and together we’ll create a garment that fits you perfectly.
