The letters R and H come from the first letters of both designers' lastnames, Riiheläinen and Hernesniemi. The designers met while studying in the University of art and design Helsinki. After working in different fields of fashion and design, Riiheläinen at Zac Posen in New York and Hernesniemi in Berlin in Agency V, they decided to create their own design world through their women's wear collections in 2010.

R/H's unique world of relaxed style has developed into a line rich on playful details combined with the nordic minimalism, insightful feminine cuts, colourful prints and certain spirit of black magic - still light and easy to wear. R/H plays with the contrast of masculine and feminine through mixing soft materials with rough details. R/H`s garments are always made of fine materials such as silk, bamboo jersey and ecological reindeer leather, all combined with beautiful R/H prints. The designers get inspired by atmosphere, music and the female anatomy. The R/H woman is a balanced individual with a creative mind.

Altough R/H has not been around long they have reached some top retailers, such as Wood Wood Berlin, US import Copenhagen and My o My Helsinki.
