Andiata

Andiata

Andiata was founded 1986 in Helsinki by Tarja Rantanen. Andiata is a Finnish top tier high quality fashion
brand for both business and pleasure. From the beginning, the company has been designing products that
have a timeless appeal, and that will last beautifully over the years – both in terms of style and quality.
Andiata is the second-generation fashion brand. Tarja Rantanen is the founder, CEO and head designer, and
her daughter Matilda Morelius also works as a designer. The mother-daughter relationship is also
highlighted in the brand’s design ideology with the idea to produce long-lasting garments that can be
passed from mother to daughter. The design studio is nestled in the urban district of Vallila, Helsinki, where
all departments, from pattern makers and seamstresses to the production and marketing team work
closely together to produce the highest quality of craftmanship.
Andiata believes in sustainable style rather than trends. With a nod to the brand’s Finnish roots, Andiata
embraces sustainability by producing long-lasting fashion for a sustainable future, and creating durable and
timeless pieces. Andiata’s designs are meant to be used, cared for, and shared for decades on. The majestic
beauty of Nordic nature is a constant source of inspiration:
Finnish nature has always been a significant source of inspiration for me. Its fresh air, wilderness and
the changing four seasons. It must be protected for our children, so that they too will be able to see the
beauty of it. Sustainability is a continuous journey, a step-by-step process. We are not and we will
never be perfect at it. Nevertheless me, my daughter and the whole Andiata team are committed
together to become better at it, year after year.
-Tarja Rantanen
Andiata’s designs combine Scandinavian minimalism with Parisian femininity. The designs are to the
modern woman and the businesswoman – it allows you to be both serious, beautiful, and comfortable at
the same time. Andiata designs are formal fashion for the working woman to wear at work, as well as
elegant design for the evening.
