Kristina Viirpalu's couture creations pay a deep homage to historic Estonian embroidery and knitting techniques. Romantic patterns, styles and ornaments are playfully mixed with contemporary sources of inspiration to meet the needs of a modern woman.

The highlights of the brand are the exuberantly intricate hand-knitted dresses created by the masters of this unique craft. These exquisite gowns and detailed couture pieces are inspired by the Haapsalu shawl, a preferred accessory of the Estonian upper class ladies of the 19th century.

The shawl was knitted so fine it could be pulled through a wedding ring. This delicate and fragile technique remains a living source of inspiration for our designer.

Kristina Viirpalu's hand embroidered bodies are additionally inspired by the motifs and patterns of various Estonian folk costumes.

Most of Kristina Viirpalu's elaborate pieces can be worn in multiple ways for different occasions, giving the wearer a chance to create a personal couture style many times over.
