General presentation

Based in the coastal town of Svaneke on Bornholm, Denmark, Timmi B. Kromann, Kokolores runs a small, independent textile company. Specialising in knitwear, Kokolores is built on a philosophy of quality, longevity, and responsible craftsmanship.

The wool used in Kokolores garments is sourced directly from hand-picked spinning mills in Italy and England, chosen for their exceptional fibre quality and sustainable production. Most pieces are knitted in-house in Svaneke, while others are crafted in collaboration with a knitting mill in Jutland, combining local skill with meticulous attention to detail. For Timmi, quality is key.

For Kokolores’ collection of sewn garments, Timmi Kromann uses leftover deadstock fabrics from major Italian fashion houses such as Armani, Prada, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana that would otherwise be tossed away and gives them a new life.Given that this deadstock fabric is only available in small quantities, Kromann’s creations are usually one of a kind pieces.

At the heart of Kokolores lies a simple but enduring idea: to create “favorite products.” The kind of garments people treasure, like a beloved sweater from childhood, cared for, repaired, and worn for years. Each piece is designed to transcend fleeting trends, offering beauty, and durability in equal measure.

Kokolores stands for slow, thoughtful fashion made with good conscience. Crafted to last, to be loved, Timmi Kromann’s pieces are there to last a lifetime in our hearts.

Fondée en 2001 par la créatrice textile Timmi B. Kromann, Kokolores est une petite entreprise textile indépendante basée dans la ville côtière de Svaneke, sur l’île de Bornholm, au Danemark.
Spécialisée dans la maille, Kokolores repose sur une philosophie de qualité, de longévité et de savoir-faire responsable.

La laine utilisée pour les vêtements Kokolores provient directement de filatures soigneusement sélectionnées en Italie et en Angleterre, reconnues pour la qualité exceptionnelle de leurs fibres et leur production durable.
La plupart des pièces sont tricotées en interne à Svaneke, tandis que d’autres sont réalisées en collaboration avec une tricoterie du Jutland, alliant savoir-faire local et souci du détail.

Pour sa collection de vêtements cousus, Timmi Kromann utilise des tissus invendus provenant de grandes maisons de couture italiennes telles qu’Armani et Dolce & Gabbana, qui auraient autrement été jetés, leur offrant ainsi une seconde vie.
Ces tissus n’étant disponibles qu’en quantités limitées, les créations de Kromann sont le plus souvent des pièces uniques.

La production est assurée dans un petit atelier de couture en Pologne, où des conditions de travail éthiques sont garanties, reflétant l’engagement de Kokolores envers la responsabilité sociale et environnementale.

Au cœur de Kokolores réside une idée simple mais durable : créer des “produits favoris” — ces vêtements que l’on chérit, comme un pull d’enfance, que l’on entretient, répare et porte durant des années.
Chaque pièce est conçue pour transcender les tendances éphémères, alliant confort, beauté et durabilité.

Kokolores incarne une mode lente et réfléchie, créée en toute conscience.
Conçues pour durer et pour être aimées, les pièces de Timmi Kromann sont faites pour rester toute une vie dans nos cœurs.

Fundada en 2001 por la diseñadora textil Timmi B. Kromann, Kokolores es una pequeña empresa textil independiente con sede en la localidad costera de Svaneke, en la isla de Bornholm, Dinamarca.
Especializada en prendas de punto, Kokolores se basa en una filosofía de calidad, durabilidad y artesanía responsable.

La lana utilizada en las prendas de Kokolores proviene directamente de hilanderías seleccionadas a mano en Italia y en Inglaterra, elegidas por la calidad excepcional de sus fibras y su producción sostenible.

La mayoría de las piezas se tejen en el propio taller de Svaneke, mientras que otras se elaboran en colaboración con una fábrica de punto en Jutlandia, combinando la habilidad local con una meticulosa atención al detalle.

Para su colección de prendas cosidas, Timmi Kromann utiliza tejidos excedentes (“deadstock”) procedentes de grandes casas de moda italianas como Armani y Dolce & Gabbana, que de otro modo serían desechados, dándoles así una nueva vida.
Dado que estos tejidos solo están disponibles en cantidades limitadas, las creaciones de Kromann suelen ser piezas únicas.

La producción se lleva a cabo en un pequeño taller de costura en Polonia, donde se garantizan condiciones de trabajo éticas, reflejando el compromiso de Kokolores con la responsabilidad social y medioambiental.

En el corazón de Kokolores hay una idea simple pero duradera: crear “productos favoritos”, prendas que la gente atesora, como un suéter querido de la infancia, cuidado, reparado y usado durante años.
Cada pieza está diseñada para trascender las modas pasajeras, ofreciendo comodidad, belleza y durabilidad a partes iguales.

Kokolores representa una moda lenta y consciente, hecha con buena conciencia.
Diseñadas para durar y ser amadas, las piezas de Timmi Kromann están hechas para perdurar toda una vida en nuestros corazones.

Fondata nel 2001 dalla designer tessile Timmi B. Kromann, Kokolores è un’azienda tessile indipendente con sede nella città costiera di Svaneke, sull’isola di Bornholm, in Danimarca.
Specializzata in maglieria, Kokolores si basa su una filosofia di qualità, longevità e artigianalità responsabile.

La lana utilizzata nei capi Kokolores proviene direttamente da filature accuratamente selezionate in Italia e in Inghilterra, scelte per l’eccellente qualità delle fibre e per la loro produzione sostenibile.
La maggior parte dei capi è lavorata internamente a Svaneke, mentre altri vengono realizzati in collaborazione con un maglificio dello Jutland, unendo la competenza locale a una cura minuziosa dei dettagli.

Per la sua collezione di capi confezionati, Timmi Kromann utilizza tessuti di scarto provenienti da grandi case di moda italiane come Armani e Dolce & Gabbana, che altrimenti verrebbero sprecati, donando loro così una nuova vita.
Poiché questi tessuti sono disponibili solo in piccole quantità, le creazioni di Kromann sono spesso pezzi unici.

La produzione è completata in un piccolo laboratorio di cucito in Polonia, con l’impegno di garantire condizioni di lavoro etiche, riflettendo l’attidudine di Kokolores verso la responsabilità sociale e ambientale.

Al cuore di Kokolores c’è un’idea semplice ma duratura: creare “prodotti preferiti”, quei capi che le persone amano e conservano, come un maglione d’infanzia, curato, riparato e indossato per anni.
Ogni pezzo è pensato per trascendere le mode passeggere, offrendo comfort, bellezza e durata in egual misura.

Kokolores rappresenta una moda lenta e consapevole, creata con coscienza.
Realizzati per durare e per essere amati, i capi di Timmi Kromann sono destinati a rimanere per tutta la vita nei nostri cuori.

Rooted in Tradition, Inspired by Wool

Timmi B. Kromann, founder of Kokolores, grew up in a small village in Northern Germany, where needlework was a natural part of life.
From an early age, she was trained in many textile techniques, and it was there that her fascination began: the wonder of being able to create and shape with nothing more than a thread and a needle.

Today, that same fascination remains her driving force. The thread is always the starting point, it sparks her creativity. There is a knowledge in her hands, one that has been there since childhood, now combined with her formal education as a textile designer specialized in knitwear. With its many qualities, textures, and transformative possibilities, wool has become her favorite material.

Beyond Fashion: A Philosophy of Making

During her studies, Timmi was gifted a large industrial knitting machine. With no predefined plan, she began searching for a place to establish a workshop. “Things came naturally, one after another.”

Kokolores was founded in 2001 and is based in Svaneke, on the Danish island of Bornholm. The core of the project is simple: to create garments that last.

“A garment is truly sustainable only if it lasts, if it can travel through the years, if it can be passed from one person to another.”

For Timmi, this is not merely an aesthetic choice but an ethical one. She does not identify with the fashion system:

“Fashion is selfish. It runs, consumes, replaces. The world of craft is different: there, ideas, tools, and solutions are shared. It’s another way of being together.

A Life Woven in Wool

In her daily practice, Timmi moves fluidly between different modes of making. Her work is threefold: she develops small-scale series of garments, creates unique one-of-a-kind pieces, and works as an established textile artist, participating in exhibitions both in Denmark and abroad. This interplay between design, craftsmanship, and art nourishes and enriches her overall practice.

For her knitwear collection, Timmi produces the fabrics herself. The wool comes from spinning mills in Italy and England, carefully selected for the quality of their fibers and artisanal expertise.

“Wool is precious. It’s natural, it breathes, it doesn’t need to be washed often, and it can last for decades. No synthetic material can compare.”

For the products made from woven fabrics, only deadstock materials, leftovers from major Italian fashion houses, are used. This means that no fabric is produced specifically for Timmi.

“My wish is to create favorite products  pieces that are not dependent on the whims of fashion. Products that last for many years, that are timeless in expression and material, and comfortable to wear. Objects that people like to keep, repair, and love. Objects that can be passed from hand to hand.”

Because these fabrics exist only in limited quantities, many garments become unique pieces. And giving new life to what was destined for waste means restoring value.

“Wool is a precious, inherently versatile material, but it takes effort to bring it to light. Recycling it is essential if we want to be truly sustainable.”

Timmi’s work seeks to nurture a culture of attachment to objects a culture of slow time, of care, of keeping.
