Corduroy Meets Peruvian Art.
Vintage shirts have been given a second chance. Each piece tells a story of cultural fusion.
Grinakervev X Recouture
We’re launching 17 pieces for the 17th of May – a Recouture take on the classic busserull shirt, crafted from striped cotton fabric woven by Grinakervev in Hadeland.
This collection is a redesign using Grinakervev’s beautiful striped cotton fabric. I chose to move away from the traditional busserull construction, which is made from square and rectangular cuts, and instead created entirely new silhouettes.
The fabric itself is stunning, but I wanted to modernize the fit—something more feminine and relevant to today. And as a Recouture signature, I’ve worked with Grinakervev to develop a custom handwoven textile just for this collaboration. For this, we used leftover yarn found in Grinaker’s attic—giving forgotten materials a second life through craft.
Oh – and yes, there’ll be a men’s version too. With a twist, to dress it up or down.

Items you missed…
“At Recouture, our passion for circular fashion and preserving local traditions drives everything we do. Each one-of-a-kind garment is created by repurposing existing products and materials, made with local production in Norway.
We believe these unique pieces don’t just add character to your wardrobe – they carry stories of innovation, heritage, and environmental responsibility.
We hope it feels just as meaningful to you as it does to us“.
Founding mother, Hilde Hoff Nordskar

Redesign
your own garment
How it works!
If you have a product hanging in your closet that you no longer use because you've grown tired of it, the size is a bit off, or it needs a small repair, we can help. We collect Norwegian åkler, which we use in our redesigns, and we have a large stock that we would love to share with you so that you can create your very own recouture åkle product. If you have inherited an åkle that holds sentimental value, but you don't want it hanging on the wall, you can send it along with your jacket. This way, you'll have your very own personal story and perhaps a memory of someone who means a lot to you. Send us an inquiry at hei@recouture.no with a picture of your jacket, and we'll get back to you with suggestions before the design process begins. See examples of prices below.

Imagine products being discarded because repair costs are too high—returns, manufacturing defects, or surplus stock, all too common.
What if these were reborn as entirely new items?
An invitation to gift unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, crafted in Norway with love and tradition.
Let your loved one choose from our collection of upcycled garments—or send us their own jacket to be recoutured into something truly personal. The perfect way to support a greener future while contributing to shaping a new consumer behavior.
Upcycled Norwegian sophistication,
one-of-a-kind,
circular consumption.

Seeds of Hope
I grew up on a farm where we had pigs, grains, and some vegetables. When I had my own children and no longer lived on the farm, it became important to me to teach them about local harvesting. That's why we have joined the local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) for the last 8 years. Eating locally produced and in-season food is good for both people, health and the environment. And, contributes to preserving arable land. Therefore, Recouture will support the 'Seeds of Hope' program by giving $20 per sold item. Our donation provides low-income families in Nepal with a bag of kitchen garden seeds, training by an agriculture expert, and a greenhouse tunnel. This eventually makes them self-sufficient in food, and when the harvests are substantial enough, they can begin selling to others. This is a commitment to invest in local grassroots-level to build more climate-resilient food systems. The program specifically helps empower women to find independence and enables them to provide education for their children. We are glad to support @thesmallworld founded by Sonam & Karma Sherpa.
