The name of the promising fashion brand NARCISS derives from the Greek myth of the young and handsome Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection. NARCISS doesn’t promote self-absorption, or pathologic narcissism, but encourages women to be self-assured and love themselves. NARCISS collections accent sophisticated femininity - each collection is dominated by dresses. The clothes are exceptionally well crafted - made by the best tailors using the highest quality natural materials.

Shops selling NARCISS collections are found in Russia, Britain, Kuwait, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as, since 2014, Zürich, New York and other major US cities. A big role in promoting the brand was played by the prestigious Tranoishow in Paris, which takes place during the city’s fashion weeks. “We applied for three years and were only accepted on the fourth attempt. We have realized that NARCISShas potential and we need to take part in every show - it is a sign of maturity and the serious intentions behind the brand,” says Alise Trautmane.
At the end of 2013, the popular Latvian brand tried its hand at creating men’s clothing, resulting in a small capsule collection created in partnership with the fashion blogger Dennis Shevelev. The collection, entitled DENNIS/NARCISS, includes three blazers for a modern and dynamic man.
A safe investment for the autumn wardrobe are items by NARCISS made of high-quality cashmere, alpaca and llama; they are surprisingly warm and comfortable, while remaining light and flexible. A special detail: a contrasting finish of natural leather.
At the NARCISS shop-atelier-fashion cafe in Riga, Berg’s Bazaar, you can order NARCISS items in your size, as well as alter the items you have already chosen from a NARCISS collection.
