Our garments are designed in Kajaani, Northern Finland, with inspiration from the surrounding nature. We want our customers to have clothing worthy of them whether wandering in the bustling city, in the midst of nature or on the university campus.
Our R-Collection products are designed to be visually pleasing to our customers as well as durable. As the quality of the materials is of utmost importance, the design is always based on the special properties of the materials used. We want our garments to survive long term usage and to be easily maintained. We also like to design timeless products, so we do not necessarily follow the latest trends.
The classic anorak is the base for several products. Simple design makes it possible for the garments to be suitable for both leisure and party, now and for years to come. Light for the spring, protective for the fall. With the change of seasons R-Collection exuviates its skin. As in nature: what is most valuable stays intact.
We want to make our products as close as possible. We design all our products in Kajaani. Once an idea becomes into a drawing, it is made into patterns and sown to a sample garment. The samples are further developed in Kajaani, enabling effective product development. The production ready garments are then cut, embroidered and printed in Kajaani and sent to Estonia for sewing.
There we have our own employee to guarantee the high quality of production and to ensure the local working conditions of the employees. Most of our products (about 90%) are manufactured in Estonia and Finland. We also strive to increase the transparency of our production because we believe that transparency is the key to a sustainable future.
We cooperate with one dyeing factory. Our anorak products are dyed and finished in Estonia and our most of our sweatshirt and T-shirt materials are made in Finland and dyed in Poland. Our knitted garments are made in Finland and Lithuania from Italian wool yarn. We only use mulesing free merino yarn in our products. Anorak bags are manufactured in Finland and Estonia from production surplus material. Socks are also made in Finland. Our woolen beanies come from Finland, Lithuania and Estonia, our caps from Estonia and downjackets from Türkiye. We regularly visit our factories and work on R-Collection's Code of Conduct that will guide our operations and decision-making.
It is really important to us that we enter into long-term partnerships. It is not in our interest to switch to new suppliers, but to carefully nurture proven partners. We have been cooperating with most of our suppliers for more than 10 years.

We contribute towards the environment by utilizing environmentally friendly materials in the delivery of our garments. We pack our orders in recycled paper packages made in Finland and avoid plastic in delivery. In stores and factories, we only use cardboard boxes that we recycle. Our price tags and labels are made from recycled paper and instead of plastic bags we pack our products in paper bags in our stores. Also, R-Collection Gift Cards are made of paper instead of plastic. The production and storage facilities in Kajaani utilize geothermal energy. Geothermal energy is renewable solar energy and therefore an environmentally friendly form of energy.
Customer satisfaction plays an important role for us. If, despite proper use, there is a manufacturing error in our product within a reasonable time from the date of purchase, we will always try to repair it instead of throwing it away. We work with Menddie, a Finnish clothing and accessories repairing service.
We want to help our customers extend their clothing life and our shop staff will be happy to tell you about the proper care of clothes.
We recommend to recycle used clothes properly. Our customers can bring used R-Collection products back to our own stores for recycling. If the product is in sellable condition, we can exchange it to a gift card within our ReCollection program. Clean and intact clothing can also be resold or donated to recycling organisations. The lifespan of clothes can be extended with proper care and repair. An old garment can continue to live as a material of another garment. Fiber recycling or mixed waste is the last place for unusable textiles.
