SUNCHASE, a holistic street couture collection designed by Sanna Saastamoinen Barrois for Moi Namaste is now moving its home from the exclusive Kämp Galleria to a new sustainable destination, Lapinlähden Lähde in Helsinki.

A centre for culture and wellbeing, Lapinlähden Lähde, is a recognized cultural  heritage sight in the heart of the Helsinki city. It is open to the public every day and organises seminars, gatherings and various events pertaining to culture and welfare. 

As home to both Sanna's former art studio and Moi Namaste showroom, it is the best summer home for our collaboration collection. 

Representative of the Lapinlahti community and the Lapinlahti Foundation, Ville Pellinen shared recently at the "Kaikkien Lapinlahti" concert that he has deep gratitude "for how large numbers of people are ready to defend the values ​​of Lapinlahti, to gather around a common cause and to selflessly put themselves into action for the common good". He hopes for the future of Lapinlahti to be open to all kinds of groups of people, regardless of characteristics, backgrounds and wealth. The core goal of the region's activities is not the maximization of financial profit, but the activities are guided by deeper values ​​and positive social impact.

Aligned in our core values, we are honoured and deeply grateful to join our journey with that of Lapinlahti. Together with Sanna Saastamoinen Barrois, Moi Namaste hopes to convene our community of like-minded people at Lapinlahti and continue to celebrate spaces that honour the earth and its people.
