About Birgitta Helmersson
With its headquarters in Malmö, Sweden, Birgitta Helmersson only uses zero waste pattern cutting, which means no fabric is lost during the cutting and sewing processes, to design and produce apparel and sewing patterns. A small team designs and produces limited collections utilizing recycled and natural textiles in-house. Birgitta, who was formerly based in Melbourne, Australia, has 20 years of professional experience as a designer, seamstress, and pattern maker in both the fashion and theatrical costume industries. Her self-titled label was established in 2013 and housed a studio and shop in Melbourne from 2016 to 2018. In early 2018, Birgitta Helmersson packed up the company in order to return to Sweden with her family and celebrate her Swedish heritage.
