minä perhonen creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs.

Huts that create a forest; in the “hütte” design, the houses we live in are lined up like trees in the forest.



The material is high-density cotton that is moderately firm and smooth to the touch. The colours and line drawings are beautifully printed. The background colour is green, creating a bright finish.

The butterfly-stopper pen holders and cover interior are bright beige. Two dotted lace bookmarks are attached.



Each cover contains a unique arrangement of the pattern. We hope you enjoy your one-of-a-kind cover.

About minä perhonen

minä perhonen is a brand created by designer Akira Minagawa.
First founded in 1995 under the name minä, and renamed “minä perhonen” in 2003. In Finnish, “minä” means “I,” and “perhonen” means “butterfly,” expressing Minagawa’s hopes to create designs as light-hearted and beautiful as a butterfly’s flapping wings.
