Yunona, that sounds fabulous! I saw the exhibition in Geneva in 2021 and loved it.
Dear Karin, Lynne advised me to ask you. Maybe you know something about these Finnish brands: O.V. Räisänen (Finnish, 1960-1970s) and Tähtileninki (Finish, active in 1960s)?

@Yunona sorry for the late reply, I was away for work. Never heard of any of these brands / names before. Tähtileninki apparently means "star dress" per Google Translate. I know a little Finnish but not that much :). The address, Iso Roobertinkatu 23 is in Helsinki's city centre and I have definitely walked by there, there's a few second hand shops in that area these days!

When I google Leninkitukku, I get this: https://www.finnflare.com/pages/about-us - maybe this is related, though this one says it originated in Salo, not Helsinki. Maybe they established a shop early on in Helsinki? Your ensemble, which looks fabulous by the way, does look 1960s.
