We hope that your LAKOR product will have many years of wearing before there is no longer room in the wardrobe. When that day comes, however, we would encourage you to take it back to its home in our stores. We will give you a deposit for the product, which you can use on your next purchase in our stores.

We then make sure that the product is either redesigned into children's clothing or passed on to a charitable purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the clothing used for?

Our Pant partners redesign the products into, for example, children's clothing and pillows, and show how creativity and recycling can go hand in hand. See examples and ways to purchase these further down the page.

Where can I turn in my used products?

In the LAKOR stores in Aarhus, Aalborg and Copenhagen in Denmark.

How much deposit is there on the products?

You get 25 DKK for shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, pants and shorts and 10 DKK for t-shirts, caps and other accessories.

What can I use my deposit for?

You can use the deposit for your next purchase in our stores and webshop.

Can I get my deposit in cash?

No, you will receive a gift card for our stores and webshop.

Can you get a deposit for something other than LAKOR clothing?

No, but we encourage you to hand in all used clothing to one of, for example, the Red Cross' recycling containers. Alternatively, you can hand it in to our stores. We will then pass it on to our Deposit partners, who will assess whether it can be upcycled or passed on for recycling.

Are there any other requirements?

The clothes you hand in must be washed and clean so that the smell of fish does not become too strong in the store.

ByMandrup

Britt Mandrup is in symbiosis with her sewing machine and has been sewing children's clothes for the successors of LAKOR employees for a long time. Britt is one of the diligent PANT partners who gives your old clothes new life. She does this by turning the PANT clothes we receive in our stores into children's clothes.

The money from the sale goes directly to Britt, of course.
