Masai stories

Head Of Production at Masai
“Here at Masai, we’re extremely proud of our suppliers. Some of them we have worked with since the very first collection, so they know Masai as well as we do. It’s equally remarkable that our main suppliers are women, which lends a special understanding to the collections we create together. We don’t actually have very many suppliers, but we work extremely closely with the few we use. In fact, we work so closely that we sometimes get invited to a family wedding, or receive a joyful phone call with news of a daughter’s engagement. I feel so privileged, and it really warms my heart that I’m allowed to keep company with such wonderful women. I feel, too, that you have to consider how many women’s hands have touched a piece of Masai clothing before we hang it up in the shop, which makes you feel part of something bigger.”

MASAI STORIES
MASAI STORIES er portretter som omhandler kvinneliv gjennom tanker og refleksjoner fra engasjerte og lidenskapelige kvinner. Historiene handler om diversitet, åpenhet, om mot og ikke minst om friheten til å være- og velge seg selv. Gjennom møtet med forskjellige kvinner, som inspirerer oss med sine livsvalg og kreativitet, ønsker vi å skape et unikt innblikk i kvinners univers. Slik viser vi skjønnheten og styrken som oppstår når lidenskap får mulighet til å utfolde seg, og når man velger å lytte til seg selv og gjøre det man drømmer om.

Anna Norrman is actually Swedish, but loves Denmark and the Danes so much that she decided to set up a boutique B&B deep in the Danish countryside, a place where imperfections are celebrated and where the Danish obsession with the colour white is truly challenged.
