Telakka's workwear collection is aimed at service industries: restaurants, cafes, kitchens and retail, hairdressing salons and beauty care. The starting point in the design is always the employee and their well-being, the durability, usability and comfort of the clothing. In addition to the basic collection, we design and produce profiled collections for companies according to the brand.

For Kirsimari, responsibility has always been a self-evident goal in all operations. Our ships are not swayed by commercial trends. We are guided by values. We have always been and will always be sustainable in everything we do. We make sure that the production of our clothes also withstand the light of day. Read more about our responsible operations. 

Telakka, which stands for ''shipyard'', symbolizes the birthplace of great and lasting things – human work, achievements and working together. Even though we don't build ships, the spirit of what we do is the same. We design and manufacture workwear that withstand time and use. We want to create clothes that are perfect for the job, so that they are so functional, high-quality and comfortable that people want to wear them after work and out on the town and at night.
