Ivo Nikkolo

General information

Ivo Nikkolo is one of the oldest and most unique Estonian designer brands in the Baltics. Being established in 1994 the collections have served Ivo Nikkolo’s firm handwriting since the very beginning with its feminine glamour and masculine confidence. During Soviet time consumers previously used to modest life now started to value quality design, the ideas of the designers in Estonia grew in confidence. The first fashion house in the Republic was born.

Strong vision has been visible in Ivo Nikkolo from the beginning. Women’s collection has been aimed at a busy, self confident woman who appreciates classic yet unexpected details which offer emotional tenseness.

It has been evident that in all countries where Ivo Nikkolo is being sold there is a fan base to the brand of women who value untraditional classic, luscious fabrics and exclusivity in details.
Ivo Nikkolo’s small yet busy team, run by head designers Eve Hanson and Britta Laumets, has followed Ivo’s original handwriting and is focusing only on womenswear. Men’s fashion has been left to Baltman.

Ivo Nikkolo garments are sewn primarily in Estonia, and to some extent in Lithuania. Fabrics are made in Europe (mainly Italy). Knitwear is produced in Italy and China, as there are no weaving factories in Estonia. Nonetheless, the designs come from here . All Ivo Nikkolo shirts are produced in Italy. Ivo Nikkolo collaborates with well chosen longtime partners from Europe and Asia.

Ivo Nikkolo himself as well as Eve Hanson have both been awarded an Estonian fashion design award ‘Kuldnõel’ for collections of the year. They are both fond of using simple feminine line combined with exclusive fabrics.

The brand is not only much loved and appreciated in Estonia and in other Baltic countries but also a world known fashion forecasting site WGSN has credited Ivo Nikkolo by choosing its campaign to one of the world’s best.
