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.

The stunning Sakari sweater is knitted in Novita’s classic 7 Brothers yarn. Designer Rolf Ekroth was inspired to create his own knitted interpretation of the sporty hockey shirts. The Dear night hockey shirt is decorated with patterns inspired by traditional Scandinavian stranded colourwork knits.
