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.
Dream it.
We need to change the way we consume and recognize the value in what we already have. The wonderful feeling of owning a product that truly matters to you, has a story, and you know you'll enjoy for many years to come.
Redesign it.
Imagine that you have a jacket in your closet that you no longer use, either because you're tired of it or it's damaged. When contacting Recouture, you can participate in redesigning your own product, transforming it into your newfound wardrobe favorite.
You also contribute to increased social value through the development of individuals. In collaboration with Moving Mamas, Recouture aims to contribute to the inclusion and integration of immigrant women into the Norwegian society. Additionally, you've contributed to saving the planet by preventing new production and reducing the number of clothes ending up in landfills.
Embrace it.
It all began with an idea.
I came across a beautiful Norwegian Åkle at a secondhand shop in Oslo. Upon returning home, I draped it over my Norrøna jacket, which was on the floor. Filled with inspiration, I headed to my sewing studio and crafted this very first Åkle jacket.
And just like that, this journey began.
Seeds of Hope
When you place an redesign order, you help support the 'Seeds of Hope' program. 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 products 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.
Our redesign services are currently limited to customers within Norway.
If Åkle doesn't pique your interest, we have more nice quality deadstock arriving soon.
