About us
BEHIND THE SCENE
GRACIAS
Gracias embodies the spirit of grace, gratitude and appreciation.
Thanking our planet and our world for it’s many blessings.
We believe, appreciation and respect are the core values and the essence of the true nature of happiness, love and existence. A grateful heart is a strong and full syncopator and keeps us in step and tempo with the world. A grateful spirit is a fun and full animator and keeps us up and going in life.
It is in this united connection of heart and spirit where Gracias is born.
AIMS
Gracias is about feeling and looking fresh, sharp and comfortable!
Our clothing is made of soft and cozy materials contrasted with clean, stylish, minimalistic designs.
It is in this juxtaposition that we get a sense of comfort and relaxation, with an artful slick, musical playfulness.
Feeling cozy and homey yet looking sharp, clean and stylish.
This is Gracias.
Sustainability
With a fast changing world facing issues of pollution and contamination in the clothing industry, being a small sustainable brand is primordial to us here at Gracias.
All our packaging is made out of eco-sustainable recycable/composable materials. We are aware about the waste and carbon print problem and how it is impacting our environment. Therefore our clothes are designed and printed here in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Keeping up with the latest sustainable technologies and looking for new creative and innovative ways to make exciting up to date clothing. Working with small quantities and limited collections to ensure a healthier more sustainable manufacturing habit.
People Behind Gracias
Gracias was created by Finnish designer and painter, Hanna Tahvanainen, and Panamanian musician and adventurer, Felipe Arias.
In the aim of blending our love for art, music and clothing in one format and our two opposing world cultures, we come together harmoniously in Gracias Clothing.

Together with Gracias we celebrate the mixture and exploration of all cultures of the world,
mixing ideas, trends and outlooks into one cohesive end result. Exploring the lands, foods, shapes and colors that ignite their creativity and hearts.
Together we Go!
