Ethical winter-clothing for cold Scandinavian days

Some of us might experience a semi-lockdown and most of us might probably not be able to visit stores physically. Our regular way of finding beautiful items in hidden second hand stores has become a memory from the past. More of us has started to look for beautiful items online instead, but it can be tricky when you’re in the middle of a cold winter with certain needs that has to be met. Some of us might experience our first cold winter when the option to migrate to warmer countries is no longer available.

We have listed some of our favourite items and brands available in Scandinavia, online, for those of you who are looking for something warm to wear.

Remember, second hand always goes first hand. And if you go to our section “Stores” you can find plenty of online second hand stores. Make sure you also reuse and circulate clothes among your friends and family. Maybe someone has an extra winter jacket they don’t use? And if you do invest in any of these items, make sure you look after it so it lasts.
