We constitute an art loving trinity to unite fascinating visual artists with ethical fashion designs, thus introducing a new purposeful way to create inspiring artwear. As a brand, we evolve and transform alongside our artwork creators and do our best to provide responsibly produced, high-quality garments. 10% of Pispala’s sales will end up in the artists' pockets.
Our uniqueness hails from the genuine passion to support art and create captivating garments in collaboration with the artists whose work we admire. We wholeheartedly hope you connect with our mindset and take part in the delivery of our mission.
Our roots are entrenched in the unique, artistic and communal soil of the Pispala area in Tampere, Finland. Pispala's history, together with its colourful wooden houses, stunning scenery and buoyant underground scene, inspires us every day.
We have grown up with and been influenced by extraordinary creative individuals and groups. Now it is time to pass that creativity and inspiration forward in a way that defines us.
Pispala Clothing is a combination of passion, purpose and professionalism guided by our core values: art, happiness and identity.
You can find us from Aleksis Kiven katu 15, Tampere. Our jungle is doing poorly but all the other parts are thriving. In our place we always serve coffee from the local Kahwe Roastery. You cuddle up into our gorilla's armpit on our sofa and have a cup of coffee. We have changing art exhibitions curated by artist Emmi Kallio every 5 weeks and one week design pop-ups curated by us in between exhibitions. Every last Friday of the month we have a live gig in the shop. All our events are free and you're always welcome to our place, whether you come in human or in animal form <3
