Over the course of seven months, participating fashion, kidswear, and leather brands joined eight expert-led workshops (both in-person and online), received tailored mentorship from professionals in Estonia and the UK, and showcased their work at major international trade fairs. This initiative strengthened local businesses\u2019 export readiness, brand positioning, and negotiation strategies – equipping them to engage confidently with international buyers and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Founded in March 2023<\/strong> by Alina Kravchenko-Kobakhidze<\/strong>, Knitteria was born from a vision to breathe new life into the art of knitwear – blending rich traditional craftsmanship with sleek, modern aesthetics. For Alina, knitwear is not just about creating clothing; it\u2019s about storytelling through texture, color, and form – a bridge between heritage and contemporary lifestyles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Knitteria Founder, Alina Kravchenko-Kobakhidze:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFrom day one, Knitteria has been dedicated to exceptional quality. The brand carefully selects only the finest yarns, including premium Italian yarns, and combines them with meticulous handcrafting techniques. Every stitch reflects a commitment to durability, comfort, and timeless beauty – designed for people who value authenticity and elegance in their wardrobe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Knitteria\u2019s collections bring together the warmth and spirit of Georgian motifs with a fresh, wearable style – balancing everyday essentials with refined statement pieces. Each item is customized by color and size to meet the unique preferences of its clientele, ensuring a personal and thoughtful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The journey of Knitteria is not only about craftsmanship but also about growth and global reach. In 2025<\/strong>, with the crucial support and expertise gained from the Visionest Institute\u2019s export training program, Knitteria successfully entered the competitive US market<\/strong>. This milestone marked a powerful step in showcasing Georgian artistry on the global stage – a true testament to the brand\u2019s readiness and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Knitteria\u2019s story is more than just about knitwear; it\u2019s about vision, perseverance, and the power of combining creativity with strategic guidance<\/strong>. Programs like those offered by Visionest Institute are designed to give ambitious entrepreneurs the tools, mentorship, and confidence they need to grow beyond local markets and make their mark internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are honored to celebrate alumni like Alina<\/strong> and Knitteria<\/strong>, whose achievements continue to inspire both emerging and established entrepreneurs to dream bigger and take the next step toward global success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Visionest Institute team is proud to share the story of one of our inspiring alumni – Knitteria, whose dedication, creativity, and ambition beautifully reflect the spirit of our programs.<\/p>\n In September 2025, during our visit to Tbilisi for a women\u2019s entrepreneurship exhibition, we had the chance to see firsthand how alumni like Knitteria are turning vision into reality and making an impact both locally and internationally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9236,"featured_media":42840,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6035,6429],"tags":[6110,6157,6158,6363],"class_list":["post-42839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-trade-fair-assistance-in-georgia","category-georgia","tag-eu-in-georgia","tag-s","tag-6158","tag-visionest-institute-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/visionest.institute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG-20251024-WA0041.jpg\")
