The Revival Program
All garments will eventually reach a point where you no longer want, need or use them anymore. They might be completely worn out, or perhaps you’ve just fallen out of love with them. What’s important is that they don’t go to waste. That’s why we’ve created The Revival Program. Send us your old ASKET garments so we can bring them back to life.

WHAT WE'VE REVIVED SO FAR
We take back between 2000-3000 items per year from our customers for revival. Roughly 70% of those collected were in such condition as to only require cleaning or minor mending. The remaining 30% are bulked and saved for evaluation, after which they will either be remade or recycled. Keep them coming!
The Repair Factory
We partner with a Fabrikörerna on the Swedish west coast to handle our revivals. Apart from mending clothing and creating new garments from deadstock, Fabrikörerna is an integration project, helping immigrants learn Swedish and settle into their new home country.
The restore
In May 2023 we opened the doors to The Restore: A permanent location where you can explore and buy 2nd hand garments from our revival program, as well as samples and defective garments.
How it works
If you have unwanted ASKET items we’ll take them off your hands. You can return any garment, in any condition, all we ask is that you wash it first. Send them back or drop them off in our stores. For each item you’ll receive a revival reward which you can use to invest in new garments.
No matter what you return we’ll make sure that it’s put to the best possible use. 70% of garments are simply washed, repaired and resold. The rest are saved for remanufacturing or recycling. Most importantly, nothing goes to landfill.
Keeping clothes in use an extra nine months could reduce their footprint by up to 30%. Still, only 1/4 of all garments produced are collected for resale or recycling while the rest are destined for landfill or incineration. Less than 1% is recycled into new garments. We think we can do better. Help us bridge that gap and move towards a more circular fashion industry by sending your garments home.
