The IVKO Story

Made in Serbia,
by craftspeople.

IVKO is made in Serbia by craftspeople who have been working with knit for generations. The brand combines traditional techniques with modern technology to produce knitwear that is unlike anything else on the market: bold in colour, complex in pattern, and made from the finest natural fibres — merino, silk, linen, cotton — to a standard that is difficult to find in contemporary fashion.

Each IVKO collection is effectively a small art project. The colourways are deliberate and considered. The patterns reference folk art, geometry and textile traditions without reproducing them directly — a garment that is visually distinctive while remaining eminently wearable.

At Empress Melbourne

Genuine individuality,
not the manufactured kind.

We carry IVKO because it does something no other brand on our floor does quite the same way. It brings genuine individuality — not the manufactured kind, but the kind that comes from real craft and a strong design sensibility.

Our IVKO customers want something that gets noticed and means something — IVKO delivers that without asking them to sacrifice comfort or quality. Because IVKO runs are limited, we often can't reorder specific styles. If a piece speaks to you, trust that instinct.

The Empress Edit

We don't buy the range.
We pick the best of it.

Each season, we go through the IVKO range and hand-select only the pieces we believe are exceptional — the cuts that flatter, the fabrics that last, the styles that will still feel great in years to come.

That means our selection is intentionally limited. When a piece sells out at Empress, it's gone. We won't reorder just to fill a rack — we'd rather wait for next season's best. If you find something you love here, don't wait.

IVKO at Empress Melbourne

IVKO is the Serbian knitwear house that turns folk pattern, hand-finished wool and intricate jacquard work into pieces unlike anything else on the rack. At Empress Melbourne in Middle Park, we carry IVKO for women who want a knit with a story — the kind of cardigan, coat or dress that becomes a signature, and gets noticed every time it leaves the house.

Designed in Belgrade and made in small European mills, the collection draws on Eastern European craft traditions — embroidered detailing, deep colour, complex pattern — and translates them into modern silhouettes. These are real artisan pieces: heavy, warm, and built to last.

Empress Melbourne is on Armstrong Street, Middle Park — a short drive from Albert Park, South Melbourne and St Kilda. IVKO is hand-selected each season; quantities are always limited, and the standout pieces never come back.
