Klättermusen, a pioneer in Scandinavian mountaineering equipment, announced a new collaboration with Swedish textile artist Britta Marakatt-Labba on June 8. The collection, titled ‘Britta Marakatt-Labba for Klättermusen,’ combines the goals of both brands of quality craftsmanship, heritage, and devotion to the environment.
Marakatt-Labba’s embroidery art centers around Sámi mythology and complements Klättermusen’s designs that favor utility and durability. Her designs showcase Sámi history of landscapes, reaching into the past, present and future.
Due to the brands’ shared value of heritage and environment, the collection for the lookbook will be showcased to friends and family of Marakatt-Labba who live just outside of Kiruna. Marakatt-Labba and Klättermusen chose this audience due to its strong ties to the Sámi people and the environment surrounding it, as well as its emotional connection to the embroidery artist.
In a press release for the collaboration, Marakatt-Labba spoke about what this collaboration means to her.
“As somebody who enjoys spending time in the mountains, creating a collection with Klättermusen felt like a perfect fit for me,” Marakatt-Labba said. “I wanted to work with these images of nature, to preserve storytelling that can be shared with the generations that come after us – not just the Sámi children and youth but others too. We have a rich tradition of storytelling and I am excited to be working with a brand that has a shared belief in the importance of heritage.”
