ELVINE

Elvine was born in the year of 1912 in Hioma, Estonia. She was raised under poor conditions, under the soviet regime. Elvine and her family managed to survive the terrors of world war 1 after which she started to work at a clothing factory as a seamstress. In the mid thirties Elvine started to raise a family of her own. During the second world war she was forced to flee to Sweden with her four children. Elvine is a strong and confident woman, who also happens to be my grandmother. I’ve named the brand Elvine after my grandma, partly as a tribute to her, but mostly because of the beautyful heaviness in the name.
