R-Collection has made clothes since 1978. They started as a one shop business in northern Finland in Kajaani. Their factory outlet is still located in Kajaani, but now they also have shops in 5 towns/cities in Finland including Helsinki, Oulu, Kuopio, Rovaniemi and Joensuu. The lines and designs are typically simplistic and ageless, as they often are in Finland. These clothes are great for chilling out in a park, on the beach, at home, in the garden, on a holiday... wherever you like really.
One of their hit pieces in the 1990s was the anorak. Everyone who had an anorak (and there was a load of people), had one from R-Collection. They come in various different colours and sizes run from XS or S up to XXL.
Their collection consists of over 100 products and features some permanent classic lines as well as more trendy lines that change for every season. A high portion of the clothes are actually made in Finland. All their tricot products are made of cotton that has been dyed and further processed in Finland.
The products include tricot- and T-shirts (various printed models are also available), coats, jackets, trousers, anoraks, sweat shirts, blouses, cardigans, pullovers, skirts, shorts, dresses, bags and accessories. As a new thing they have T-shirts that have classic Finnish paintings printed on them such as the illustrations from the Finnish National Epic, Kalevala.
A limited line of clothes for children.
