A day in Stockholm with Maria
Maria Seraki, Founder of MWH
Maria's entrepreneurial MWH journey began with a simple yet profound desire: to lead a life that melded professional ambition with the joys of motherhood and everyday activities.
Maria envisioned a wardrobe that embraced both the bustling energy of biking to work and engaging in playful afternoons on the basketball court with her son, all while maintaining a polished and professional appearance during crucial meetings. Yet, each morning brought the same frustration as she faced rows of stiff, unyielding suits—garments designed for a bygone era, far removed from the dynamic lifestyle she aspired to live.
Do you recognize the problem? We do, and it's also reminiscent of the everyday problem we experienced when creating Bukvy.
We met up with Maria in Stockholm, where she guided me through her perfect afternoon in her MWH suit and Matcha green Curie bag.
Petite Marche, Karlavägen 30
First, we stepped into Petite Marche, a charming minimarket that feels like a hidden treasure. Here, the sweet fragrance of fresh flowers mingles with the aroma of coffee and pastries, creating an inviting ambiance that delights the senses. This beautiful spot is perfect for grabbing a sweet treat or a bouquet to brighten your day, making it a favorite stop for a touch of beauty and indulgence in everyday life.

ARKIVET, Nybrogatan 44
The second stop is ARKIVET, the best second-hand store in Stockholm according to Maria. Here, each item tells its own story, waiting for someone to appreciate its unique charm. As you browse through carefully curated clothing, furnishings, and treasures of the past, you’ll find not just hidden gems but also inspiration in the beauty of reimagined style.
Maria carries the Mini Strappy Curie bag and the MWH rebel suit: the perfect everyday uniform.
"I’ve loved the Bukvy bags for years, and just like our suits, they’re designed to keep up with every version of you.
Whether I’m running to a meeting, catching a flight, or picking up my kid from school, I’m always in my MWH suit and carrying my Bukvy bag. It’s my go-to uniform – tailored for movement, made for real life, and ready for whatever mission the day brings.
Two brands, one purpose: empowering women to move, work, and live freely."
