ELVINE X OLLIO

A limited edition collection that unites art and fashion

During one of the quietest months of the year, we had the chance to launch something truly unique and inspiring – ELVINE X OLLIO. This collaboration between ELVINE and Gothenburg-based artist Ollio has resulted in a limited-edition collection where art meets fashion. The garments feature handmade prints by Ollio, known for his bold and experimental works that blend various techniques and materials. The result? One-of-a-kind pieces for those who want something more than just an ordinary t-shirt.

Kinesiska Muren – A symbol of Gothenburg

To celebrate the launch of this exclusive collection, we had the amazing opportunity to host an event at one of Gothenburg’s most iconic buildings – Kinesiska Muren (Swedish for the Great Wall of China) at Skeppsbron 4. Built in 1914, this landmark holds a special place in the hearts of Gothenburg residents, as it once housed Sweden’s first Chinese restaurant, also named Kinesiska Muren. This was the birthplace of the legendary dish ‘three small dishes’ (‘tre små rätter’ in Swedish), which later became a nationwide favorite. The restaurant closed in 2016, and for years, the building stood empty. But now, it’s finally being revived to once again become a vibrant meeting place for the people of the city.
At ELVINE, we love shining a light on local creatives with a deep connection to Gothenburg. As a proud Gothenburg-based brand, it was extra special to launch this collection at a place so iconic to the people of the city. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, hung out with us, and grabbed their Ollio pieces—we loved celebrating with you!
