35 years at the forefront of fashion - Kappahl's journey in Finland began in 1990 when the company acquired Kestilä Ltd, the country's first ready-to-wear manufacturer. Over the years, Kappahl has grown to become a major player in the Finnish fashion scene - today the company has 44 stores in Finland, including Newbie stores, and around 6 million customers visit the physical stores every year.
Kappahl’s spring collection embodies the brand’s heritage of timeless, high-quality, and responsible fashion.

The service applies to the entire range and all brands within the Kappahl Group.
