DECE x Hopeapuro Stream
We are proud to announce our new collaboration with DECE clothing Romania. This collaboration will bring the first handmade leather jewelry from Romania to Hopeapuro's selection. Finnish jewelry designer Anette Ahokas is responsible for the jewelry designs. Her modern and clean designs are combined with DECE's strong craftsmanship and responsible production.
Who is DECE?
DECE is a Romanian social enterprise that has been providing work, training, and stability to local families for over ten years, particularly in areas where job opportunities are scarce. The company's activities are based on training and employing artisans, fair and transparent working conditions, long-term community development, and an emphasis on high quality in all production.
DECE products are known for their beautiful leather, meticulous craftsmanship, and timeless design. Each piece of jewelry is the result of the skill and dedication of skilled artisans.
What good does DECE do locally?
Our collaboration with DECE means more than just high-quality production. DECE provides concrete support to local communities in the following ways:
- creates stable jobs, giving families better opportunities to build their future
• provides training in leatherwork and sewing, thereby increasing local skills
• promotes women's employment and economic independence
• strengthens community spirit and brings hope to areas where it is particularly needed
DECE's values align well with Hopeapuro and Anette Ahokas' design philosophy. They share a commitment to responsibility, authenticity, and respect for craftsmanship.
Collection designed by Anette Ahokkaan
The new collection combines Anette Ahokas' modern Finnish jewelry design with DECE's expertise in leather craftsmanship. The result is a collection of handmade, responsibly manufactured, timeless, and unique jewelry. Each piece reflects both the designer's vision and the craftsmanship of its maker.
Our collaboration begins
The first leather jewelry designed by Anette Ahokas and handcrafted by DECE will soon be available in our selection. These pieces tell a story of design, craftsmanship, and community. At the same time, they offer an opportunity to support meaningful and responsible work in Romania.
