Novita’s first collaboration with Rolf Ekroth was presented at Copenhagen Fashion Week in January 2024. The Dear Night collection interpreted the retro spirit of Finnish sports history, combining traditional knitwear patterns with the design world of the collection.

In the knitted Jari jumpsuit, designer Rolf Ekroth skilfully combines colours with Novita’s 7 Brothers, 7 Brothers Nature and Soft Merino 4PLY yarns. The spectacular colourwork patterns are inspired by old traditional knitwear and vintage skiwear from the 50s.
