Head Of Production at Masai
“Here at Masai, we’re extremely proud of our suppliers. Some of them we have worked with since the very first collection, so they know Masai as well as we do. It’s equally remarkable that our main suppliers are women, which lends a special understanding to the collections we create together. We don’t actually have very many suppliers, but we work extremely closely with the few we use. In fact, we work so closely that we sometimes get invited to a family wedding, or receive a joyful phone call with news of a daughter’s engagement. I feel so privileged, and it really warms my heart that I’m allowed to keep company with such wonderful women. I feel, too, that you have to consider how many women’s hands have touched a piece of Masai clothing before we hang it up in the shop, which makes you feel part of something bigger.”

MASAI STORIES
MASAI STORIES sind Porträts, die das Leben von Frauen durch Gedanken und Reflexionen engagierter und leidenschaftlicher Frauen erzählen. Die Geschichten handeln von Vielfalt, Offenheit, Mut und nicht zuletzt von der Freiheit, sich selbst zu wählen. Durch die Begegnung mit verschiedenen Frauen, die uns alle mit ihren Lebensentscheidungen und ihrer Kreativität inspirieren, wollten wir einen besonderen Einblick in die Welten der Frauen schaffen. Damit zeigen wir die Schönheit und Kraft, die entsteht, wenn Leidenschaft sich entfalten kann, und wenn man auf sein Herz hört und seine Träume lebt.

Elisabeth Nielsen
Für die dänisch-ukrainische Pianistin Elisabeth Nielsen begann ihre musikalische Reise und ihre Faszination für das Klavier, als sie fünf Jahre alt war. Für sie ist die Musik eine Sprache, die ihre Energie aus der Begegnung mit dem Publikum erhält.
Anne Dvinge
Founder of LOW-FI Concerts, Anne Dvinge, grew up with music and with the will to always get up no matter how hard she falls. That drive and, not least, a passion for music, led to her creating Denmark's biggest platform for home concerts, an enterprise that makes sense more than ever now in a time of cultural restrictions and lack of community.
Tanja Marjatta Juhl
Tanja is one of the creative women who help create the styles that go into the collection. Prints have always featured strongly in Masai’s DNA, and we take pride in creating beautiful, vibrant, artistic prints that are always unique to us.
