Stockholms Auktionsverk Helsinki presents

Kirsti Paakkanen Collection III

We are delighted to present part three of the Kirsti Paakkanen (1929–2021) fashion collection. A selection of clothing and accessories that once belonged to one of Finland’s most colourful and successful entrepreneurs. Paakkanen’s life was a uniquesuccess story: from a modest upbringing in Saarijärvi, she built a remarkable career, first as the founder of the advertising agency Womena and later as the visionary who rescued Marimekko from bankruptcy and developed the company into what it is today. The auction features garments, handbags, shoes, and accessories, as well as Kirsti’s jewellery and watches in this final part. The auction offers a rare opportunity to acquire clothing and accessories from the wardrobe of a woman whose life’s work and charisma have left a lasting mark on Finnish fashion and design history!
