Latvian Brand Vilbers Redefines Fashion for Reduced Mobility
Vilbers, a Latvian clothing brand, has made a name for itself in just over a year. The company specialises in adaptive fashion for people with reduced mobility, blending durability with comfort. Now, its products are reaching customers worldwide, with 95% of sales going abroad. The brand was founded by Zane Bērziņa, who is currently expanding her skills at a creative industries incubator in Riga. Vilbers avoids traditional cutting techniques, instead tailoring each piece to the wearer’s unique shape. Their garments feature reinforced areas, such as sleeves, using military-grade fabric for extra strength.
Production relies on modern, semi-automatic sewing machines to ensure precision and efficiency. The company’s designs have already gained recognition—most recently, Vilbers outfitted the Latvian paracurling team for the World Championships. Sales come through their own online shop and Etsy, with Germany, the UK, and the US as the biggest markets.
To support growth, Vilbers received a €12,000 grant from the Iedvesma business idea competition. The funds will help improve production and allow the brand to showcase its work at international trade fairs. With a focus on accessibility and quality, Vilbers continues to expand its reach. The grant and ongoing development efforts aim to strengthen production and increase visibility. The brand’s adaptive designs are now worn by athletes and customers across three continents.
