Masai Stories

Masai 30 Years

August 2022

2022 is a special year for us at Masai as it’s the year we turn 30, an achievement we are grateful for and don't take for granted. We feel there is a rare beauty in celebrating 30 years of Masai, and we’re allowing ourselves the not-very-Danish joy of taking pride in our own success.

The amazing people who have been a part of our journey are definitely the reason for our success. So we have invited nine women, both colleagues and customers, to an open, honest and personal talk about turning 30, about being a woman today and about why Masai is so special. All of this has been put together into a lovely story that feels like the perfect way to celebrate ourselves and Masai.

Bear in mind that we are not actors or models, and that we did this as well and honestly as we could with the aim celebrating Masai through a personal narrative.
