Hidden Gems - ÄRNI BLUM

The Hidden Gems blog series showcases lesser-known designer brands of sustainable fashion, favorites of the IVALO.COM team and customers, and clean fashion makers with great passion.

IVALO.COM's range of sustainable knitwear is very well-liked and appreciated. At IVALO.COM you will find several quality knitwear brands, all of which do a remarkable job out of love for authentic and long-lasting knitwear.

Our customers want knitwear that represents ethical production, individual style, and comfort. We also have a large number of serious knitwear fans on our team. For example, IVALO.COMers love Rhea's gorgeous merino, which we all wear all year round.

So it's no wonder that Tallinn-based ÄRNI BLUM was a big hit with the IVALO.COM team even before its arrival.

ÄRNI BLUM_01

ÄRNI BLUM (formerly known as NirgiWabrik) was initiated in 2017 by the knitting hobby of its founder Johanna.

NirgiWabrik made stylish knitted headwear, such as super-popular headbands, bohemian turbans, and trendy beanies from luxury yarns.

Johanna's friends realized the potential and pushed her to expand her collection and business. Perfect materials from Italy and Japan combined with ÄRNI BLUM's unique sense of style and lovely colors couldn't go wrong!

NirgiWabrik was renamed after Johanna's grandfather ÄRNI BLUM - the brand started to grow and the range of elegant knitwear increased.

Today, ÄRNI BLUM creates stunning designer knitwear for women, men, and children - locally handcrafted in Saaremaa.

Made to Order

ÄRNI BLUM's knitted sweaters and accessories are mainly made to order.

Made-to-order/pre-order means manufacturing a product according to a customer's order, thereby avoiding waste of resources and overproduction.

For ÄRNI BLUM, made-to-order manufacturing is a responsibility that also adds to the uniqueness of each piece. When knitwear is made to order by size, material requirements can be accurately determined and minimized.

However, if there is any surplus, ÄRNI BLUM's production creatively combines the waste material with other products.

Lovely Coco knit and other delights

 We still recommend you choose where ÄRNI BLUM started.

Take a peek at the brand's delicious beanie selection ranging from alpaca to cotton or choose a handmade headband as a gift. The balaclava, made from merino, is a great on-trend headpiece whether you're on the mountain or in the city.

ÄRNI BLUM's unique design is also at its best when it comes to knitted berets and the brand's bestseller - turbans.

However, if you are interested in experiencing what life as an "angel goddess" is like, turn to Coco.

The irresistible hit from ÄRNI BLUM is the handmade Coco sweater in premium Japanese silk-mohair-blend. Silk mohair is luxuriously soft and warming, breathable with a hint of fluffiness.

The Coco sweater is simple in design, yet designer-inspired and fabulously suiting. You can wear Coco with sweatpants and sneakers like a trendy Scandinavian or pair it with a silk dress and heels.

The production and waiting time for Coco is 2-3 weeks from the date of order. And the colors!
