No need to limit how you feel and look in sportswear. Husky Banana premium activewear comes from Finland. Born in high mountains of Lapland it is developed and engineered in our studios in Helsinki.
The two founders Mimmi Paradise and Tupu Anttila have achieved to develop a technically advanced and luxurious women´s activewear. The clothing combines colorful prints, energy in design and sensuality

Husky Banana should be both flattering and functional in wear. True quality comes from how the garment feels.
Every piece of Husky Banana range is created to support and streamline the wearer´s physique for comfort and ease of active movement. It is engineered by using super-airtight high-filament polyester fibers.

What is the core of Husky Banana?
For me it is our own design – the way we use color, prints and materials. I do it with love our users.
How should Husky Banana look?
Close to your body – good. Feminine but not too light. It is created for use – even if it should feel fashionable.
