Voysey Brands Celebrates Office Launch with Founders’ Fireside Chats and Global Team Gathering
HELSINKI, 12 May 2025 - With our newly designed office in Helsinki, we brought together our team and brand founders for a two-day event — a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and connection that reflects everything Voysey Brands stands for.
It was a rare and meaningful opportunity for the founders of our brands to meet the team members who are helping build and grow their vision day to day, and for our global team — spanning four continents — to connect face to face, many for the very first time.
Day One: Cocktail Party & A Warm Welcome at HQ
The gathering began with a cocktail evening in our new office, designed to reflect the values and aesthetic at the heart of Voysey Brands — thoughtful design, purposeful collaboration, and a strong sense of community.
Colleagues reunited and met in person for the first time over glasses of Saicho, elegant canapés, and laughter shared in our lively photobooth. It was the perfect way to welcome our international guests and set the tone for what would become a truly inspiring two days.
Day Two: Stories, Strategy, and Shared Vision
The next morning, we gathered at a boutique cinema, where the space was transformed into a platform for brand storytelling and creative exchange.
Fireside chats with the founders of Magisso, Krua, and Fyn & Fia offered a glimpse into the journeys behind these brands — from bold ideas and design breakthroughs to the values that continue to shape them and what they are working on today.
William Bowen, our Product Sourcing Manager, gave an insightful talk on the materials and thinking behind Fyn & Fia’s approach to product design. He spoke about our strong supplier network and the care that goes into sourcing high-quality materials — including cactus leather, pineapple leather, and Milo (a mushroom-based alternative). His presentation highlighted the thoughtful journey behind creating the Isabella handbag, showcasing how craftsmanship and innovation are central to every product we develop.
The Sterling Pacific team followed with an impressive look into the precision engineering behind their aluminium suitcases — a true reflection of focus, mastery, and timeless design.
Celebrating Our Culture
What made this gathering so memorable was the energy of our global team and partners, brought together by a shared dedication to building exceptional products. Whether reconnecting face to face or collaborating across borders, this week underscored what makes Voysey Brands unique: A founder-focused approach, a culture of trust, and a passion for products that stand the test of time.
As Marine Antikainen, Managing Director at Voysey Brands shared during the event, "This space was built for more than work — it's a home for ideas, for possibility, and for the people who make those ideas real."
Closing in Style
We brought the event to a close with a beautiful dinner at Café Savoy — a moment to reflect, celebrate, and look ahead with excitement.
A sincere thank you to everyone who made the journey, to the beautiful venues that hosted us, to the founders and speakers who shared their stories, and to the incredible team who brought this event to life behind the scenes.
The new office marks the beginning of our next chapter — and we couldn’t be more energized for what lies ahead.
