IVKO is a family business that began in 1986 as a small knitting workshop in Sarajevo, then part of Yugoslavia. In the 1990s production moved to Belgrade, Serbia, where the company continues to manufacture.
Products and positioning
IVKO designs woven and knitted garments for the modern, independent woman, in sizes XS to 3XL. The brand favours natural fabrics and fibres and combines craftsmanship with modern knitting technology.
- Knitwear with a signature language of form, texture and colour
- Woven pieces complementing the knit collections
- Designs that evolve gradually rather than following trends
An in-house design team treats each garment as a canvas, and the brand has drawn on Balkan roots in its patterns. IVKO has also created a textile installation for the Venice Biennale using yarns from Edoardo Miroglio.
Distribution
IVKO is a globally distributed label, stocked by fashion retailers worldwide and sold through its own online store and retail locations.
Why it matters
IVKO is one of the most internationally visible Serbian fashion names, showing how a regional knitwear manufacturer can build a recognisable design brand.
