Anna Sofia, Style Plaza
”Helsinki scarf always travels with me, no matter the season. I have used it both as a scarf and a blanket on planes, so it is truly a multipurpose scarf. It is also very light, but wonderfully warm. Despite active daily use, it looks as good as new, so I can't recommend it enough. My absolute favourite scarf!”
Vanessa, SS20 Collection Model
"From the moment I put the Helsinki scarf on I fell in love. The material is super soft and it's very light and perfect for my travels. I can't leave the house without it."
Hani, Stylist
”My first experience with Helsinki scarf was at the first photoshoot where it was used as a part of the styling. It was pretty cool to be the first to use it in a photoshoot. Later the scarf became a phenomenom, everyone wanted their own Helsinki scarf.”
Freja, AW17 Collection Model
"The timeless Helsinki scarf is easy to combine with any style, so it is an easy way to bring something new to a look. I travel a lot for my work, and Helsinki scarf is my go-to accessory. The large scarf can be used as a warm blanket on longer flights. It's easy to bring everywhere in my bag, since it folds into small spaces and the fabric doesn't get wrinkly."
Jonas, SS20 Collection Photographer
”Helsinki scarf is the best scarf I've ever had. It is warm, but breathable and comfortable. It is a perfect combination of quality, softness and classic design. This scarf has everything on point.”
Marjukka, Fab Forty Something
”Helsinki scarf is my favourite. It is lightweight, keeps me warm when it's cold, but is also comfortable to wear as a shawl on summer evenings. It is my go to accessory with casual outfits, but also goes well with more formal occasions. Brown Helsinki scarf was my first one, but black and light grey Helsinki scarves are my favourites."
Tommi, Balmuir Brand Store Helsinki, Store Manager
”I always keep Helsinki cashmere scarf with me when I travel. It is easy to pack in my bag and use it as a blanket on flights. Our customers always come back to buy this scarf in new seasonal colours.”
Siru, Spalt PR Finland, Country Manager
"I met the founder of Balmuir for the first time in 2008, when the collaboration between Spalt PR and Balmuir began. This was back when Balmuir hadn't published their founder and origin yet. It was a big surprise for many, that behind a luxury brand was an entrepreneur from Oulu, Finland."
