Fjällräven

Fjällräven

This Swe­dish out­door brand has been around sin­ce 1960 and is still a great suc­cess. Ori­gi­nally it only sold back­packs and a little later also tents. At the end of the 60s and the begin­ning of the 70s, the brand brought clothing onto the mar­ket. Today you can go the­re for clothing for men, women and chil­dren, back­packs, tents, slee­ping bags and other equip­ment to go cam­ping in the wild.

Sustainable

Fjäll­rä­ven tries to impro­ve its sus­tai­na­bi­lity every year. The design team designs the clothing with the aim of making it fun­ctio­nal and time­less. It also stri­ves to use the best mate­rials and to have as little sur­plus as pos­si­ble. A gar­ment from Fjäll­rä­ven is easy to repair, also here it has been deli­be­ra­tely thought about.

The mate­rials the brand uses are recy­cled wool, orga­nic hemp, Ten­cel®, recy­cled pol­yes­ter, G‑1000 Eco, tra­cea­ble wool, pol­ya­mi­de, cot­ton and metal but­tons. A who­le laundry list, one of which stands out: G1000. Fjäll­rä­ven pre­fers to use this mate­rial for out­door clothing. This is a blend that con­sists of 65% pol­yes­ter and 35% cot­ton.
