*Ad for the finnairxmakia beanie

A Traveller’s Dream Wardrobe

In a remarkable milestone, Finnair, Finland’s flag carrier, celebrated its 100th anniversary one week back, on 1st November 2023. Over the past century, this Nordic airline has not only excelled in connecting continents but also in innovation and customer service. To mark this special occasion, Finnair has joined forces among others with Makia, a Finnish fashion label renowned for its durable and sustainable designs, to launch an exclusive clothing collection aptly named finnairxmakia. Among the intriguing offerings are trousers, a beanie, and, notably, a multi-pocketed vest ideal for savvy travellers.

A Blend of Heritage and Functionality

Marrying Makia’s minimalist design aesthetics with Finnair’s signature blue hues, the finnairxmakia collection is more than just a fashion statement; it’s a tribute to Finnish heritage. The ensemble seamlessly blends style, comfort, and functionality. Whether you’re commuting between European cities or embarking on a long-haul flight to the Orient, each piece in the collection could make your journey comfortable.

The Multi-Pocketed Vest: A Traveller’s Best Friend

The standout piece in the collection is undoubtedly the multi-pocketed vest. This ingeniously designed garment is essentially a wearable carry-on, a boon for travellers who prefer to travel light. With pockets designed to hold everything from your passport and boarding pass to a compact camera and even a small water bottle, it’s an efficient way to keep your essentials close without lugging around a cumbersome bag. In times when airlines are increasing charges for checked baggage, this vest comes as a godsend to save those extra euros.

Not Just Practical, but Stylish Too

While the vest scores high on the utility front, it doesn’t compromise on style. The sleek design and tailored fit makes it versatile enough for casual outings. You could easily walk off a plane and into a café or a conference room without feeling out of place.

Additional Offerings

Other equally noteworthy item in the finnairxmakia collection is the beanie, which provides warm comfort in a chilly weather or even possibly a cool airplane cabin, whereas the trousers, designed for traveller style, will look good on a long journey to any country. I got to try and test the beanie at home, and it keeps your head warm and feels very nice to your skin as it is made of 100% merino wool. The beanie is made in Finland and designed in Helsinki.

Finnair 100 years

Finnair’s centennial celebration is not merely an occasion to look back on a glorious past but also an opportunity to forge into a promising future. The finnairxmakia collection encapsulates this spirit beautifully, making it a worthy investment for travellers who appreciate quality, comfort, and functionality. As airlines and fashion continue to influence each other in fascinating ways, this collaboration sets a new standard, taking the very concept of travel gear to new heights—quite literally!
