The Lotta Svärd Foundation’s Lupaus jewelry series is wrapped around the neck of a reserve major in Linna.
The Lotta Svärd Foundation has announced a multi-part jewelry series, which we hope will remind us of the lotti’s heritage.
Lotat was a women’s voluntary national defense organization.
The Lotta-Svärd association was organized about a hundred years ago. The organization had a maximum of about 240,000 girls, of which about 50,000 were so-called little girls, i.e. girls between the ages of 8 and 17.
– The number of lots is decreasing rapidly. There are only 259 Lotties and 2,106 Little Lotties in our register, says Lotta Svärd Foundation’s Head of Communications and Public Relations Susan Mykrä.
The peace terms of the Second World War for Finland included the termination of the Lotta-Svärd association.
However, the Finnish Women’s Maintenance Foundation was soon established to continue the same work, whose task was defined as assisting women and children who had to suffer as a result of war or other crises.

“Tenderly together”
In 2004, the foundation changed its name to Lotta Svärd Foundation. The foundation summarizes itself as a philanthropist and a social responsibility bearer who respects patriotic values and works ethically.
The Lupaus jewelry series published by Lotta Svärd Foundation was designed by a jewelry designer Heli Kauhanen.
