Karhu Originals-line celebrates Finnish designers, Matti Salminen (working at the company since 1970´s) and Henrik Tuomas (since 1974), together with Mäntylä-brothers - duo behind famous M-logo, traditional trademark for Karhu Footwear since 1950´s. Design managing is mostly done while eating lots of salmon, also spearfishing is inspirational. Diving in plus 1 degree sea really makes your nerves pulse and creativity flourish. Try once. We also welcome trainees and interns, s'il vous plait! Happy skipper in Adam's costume is Paavo Nurmi, famous finnish runner from way past. Mint box available on e-bay. There you also might find old Karhu-lures for fishing. Hang on to those if you got.
