Kirinord is an Estonian knitting factory
We are a family-run business, based in Rakvere, Estonia. With almost 30 years of industry experience, we develop and manufacture a wide range of knitwear from traditional Nordic folk sweaters to high-end contemporary designer collections. We work with retailers, agents, and independent designers but also with companies looking for interesting business gifts with corporate branding, based mainly in Scandinavia but also in Europe and UK.
Sweaters, cardigans, ponchos, trousers, dresses, tops, vests, coats, and jackets, also different accessories like hats, turbans, headbands, scarves, mittens, socks, wristwarmers, ankle warmers, even throws and blankets - we can make it all and more. Do you have an out-of-the-box idea? We can bring it to life.
