The Story of La Matta
La Matta was born in Helsinki in 1999, founded by Maria Lipasti with a simple but powerful idea: quality and style at a fair price. For over 25 years, Maria has handpicked every single piece in the store travelling to fashion fairs in Milan and Copenhagen each season to find garments that are timeless, wearable and built to last.
Maria believes in the opposite of fast fashion. She wants every customer to find the right piece not just any piece. Many of her customers have been coming back for over 30 years, and that loyalty means everything.
"It's the best feeling when the right garment finds the right person and you can see the satisfaction in their eyes."
- Maria Lipasti
In 2023, La Matta moved to a beautiful new space on Kasarmikatu in central Helsinki. Visit us in store or explore our collection online.
