REJKJÆR

Rejkjær is a Danish textile and garment brand established in 2018 by weaver and textile designer Dorthe Rejkjær. Rejkjær creates unique wardrobe pieces and releases them one at a time. The products are made from high-quality materials produced locally on Ærø. How they work on circular economy Rejkjær's products are aesthetically sustainable and designed for circularity. Each product is unique and made with long durability and circularity in mind. The products are designed for disassembly, which supports the ability to renew or upcycle the products. Through a co-creation process, the customer can influence colours and details in the design, laying the foundation for a long-lasting relationship between product and wearer. In addition, all textiles are made and designed to minimise waste. The materials are mainly wool from sheep raised on the same small island where Rejkjær works, designs and produces. Furthermore, Rejkjær offers lifelong repair and "take back" service for their customers' favourite garment pieces, which can then be up-cycled for a new use and application. … The yarn is essential to ensure circularity and the long-lasting basic principle. The yarn is made from Danish wool and locally produced. Some of it is leftover wool which is usually burned. The local production supports minimum use of transportation and energy, making it easier to gain insight into the production value chain and more efficiently to focus on minimising energy resources.
