VAI-KO SS26 Collection

Our SS26 Collection is a tribute to the Finnish summer from its quiet midnight magic to the wild character of Nordic waters. From the first pedal stroke toward a morning coffee to the last cast of the line under a sun that never sets. Our gear is built for the transition from city pavement to the wild forest trail.

Colors & Graphics

Our SS26 collections color palette is the perfect blend of earthy tones with pops of color. Imagine forest greens, sky blues, and the colors of a Finnish summer night when you are sitting in silence on a wooden pier (laituri). It captures the sparkle of summer day adventures, flower meadows, and fishing trips.

Our prints bring the season to life. Whether it’s the Cycle & Coffee Club featuring our beloved dog Yoda, the watchful Binocular Bear, or the topographic Paddle On design, there’s a story in every stitch. We’ve also captured the spirit of the water with our Pike and Taimen (Trout) graphics, alongside the atmospheric Lake Inari and Lumo landscapes.

The Gear: Built for the Journey

• Certified Organic Cotton: The backbone of our tees and sweats. GOTS-certified and ethically produced, it's soft, durable, and built for the long haul.
• Double-Layer Linen: Our go-to for summer headwear. It’s lightweight, naturally quick-drying, and holds its structure while letting your head breathe.
• Recycled Polyester (PET): Technical caps that turn plastic bottles into performance gear. With UPF 50+ sun protection and integrated ventilation, they are made for high-output days in the sun.
