PARTAPIS jackets hold a special place in my wardrobe; they’re like works of art that often get a special “outing”—individually crafted and incredibly stylish, they’re sure to attract plenty of attention and compliments on those occasions.

I want to share the story of my jacket.
I fell in love with this jacket at first sight. I messaged Kristīne and was almost ready to buy it… but—oh no!—it wasn’t my size. I thought: well, it’ll be just like in a romantic movie—a beautiful but unfulfilled love.
And then a miracle happened. Kristīne wrote that the jacket of my dreams had been sewn in my exact size! So not only did I get my fantastic jacket, but I also met a wonderful, talented, and radiant woman. We talked as if we’d known each other for years.
Kristīne, a huge thank you! You create true beauty—and I wear it with joy.❤️

It was almost 20 years ago, in Ādaži. At the time, Kristīne was working in a small workshop in a rented space, altering or adapting garments brought in by me or her clients to make them more comfortable and suitable for everyday wear. It was there that I saw her original creations—outfits completely transformed and reimagined from scratch: dresses, skirts, belts. Until then, I had never seen such creatively, cleverly, and tastefully altered clothes—items that had already taken up space in our closets under labels like “no longer wearable, too small, out of style, maybe someday, etc.”
Time passed, and Kristīne’s determination, energy, and desire to continually acquire new and up-to-date knowledge in the world of fashion and clothing allow us to meet her now and collaborate at a completely different, much higher professional level.
Thank you for your recommendations, for creating jackets and festive attire accessories for our family’s double, milestone celebration “At 120 km/h” in 2025! Thank you for the ease, openness, and warmth you bring to every one of your clients!
May your wildest ideas find the best solutions, and may the client, after a positive surprise, go home and “wear out” their new outfit with confidence and joy!

I am so grateful to TV and fate for giving me the chance to meet the incredibly talented designer Kristīne. From old-fashioned clothing patterns, Kristīne sews such fantastically beautiful pieces that putting on these transformed outfits is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. When you give Kristīne your clothes—which are in good condition but no longer interesting to wear—you don’t know what the final result will be, but you can be absolutely sure that the surprise will be very pleasant! Here’s a photo of my 20-year-old mac (summer coat), which I felt bad throwing away, but it wasn’t fun to wear anymore. I gave Kristīne the coat, some pants, and a spring coat that had shrunk in the wash, and when I saw the coat’s transformation, I was like: WOW! Now, when I put on my “new” summer coat, I just want to smile all the time! I love it so much that I know I’ll never find anything cooler than this in stores! And the emotions I felt when I saw the final result are incomparable! A huge, huge thank you to Kristīne, who is a Designer with a capital D!

"Pārtapis" is a miracle worker! Kristīne, thank you for giving my clothes a new, more colorful life in a more vibrant style❣️ Perfect! I'll definitely be back, because I have more clothes to transform!

The vest is versatile and can be paired in many different ways. I’ve worn it with pants, dresses, skirts, shorts, and even a t-shirt. I’ve worn it about four times, but I don’t have photos from every time. I feel comfortable in it. The vest is a great solution when I don’t know what to wear—I just swap out my blouse, pants, or skirt and I’m good to go, because the vest itself is very unique! Thank you for the originality!
