BUY LESS. PLAY MORE.

While others tell you that it's time to replace last year's clothes with something new, we ask you to wear and love your clothes for as long as possible. We do this through timeless design, no collections, smart materials, maintenance, and repair. And instead of pretending that it's possible to produce sustainable clothing, we tell you that there is no such thing as sustainable clothing. Period.

letter to mark zuckerberg letting him know northern playground will stop sending money to meta and big tech

BYE META

It hurts to send money to a company that makes a living out of polarizing the world and making our kids addicted to their screens. A world where all power ends up in the hands of Big Tech — that’s just not okay.

When almost all ad money is sent their way, that’s exactly what happens. So now we’re saying fu%k it — we’re breaking up, and we hope it’s for good.

USE MORE: SECOND HAND

We try to make clothes that last, and that people actually want to wear for a long time. But for many different reasons, that’s not always possible. When that happens, we can work together to give the garment a second chance at life.

THE LAST MENTALITY

Five years ago, we launched The Last. We didn’t know if it was possible to get people to buy their last jacket. Were we just being naive – or was the world truly ready for less is more? To buy less and play more.

Now, five years later, we’ve asked customers, designers, and repairers:
Has The Last lived up to the ambition? And can the garments last another 20 years?

The answer is both inspiring and honest: A resounding yes – but also a few challenges we need to talk about.

LOCAL PRODUCTION
Does it have to be that those who make your clothes are poorly paid, hidden away, and forgotten? What if we instead got to know the people and craftsmanship behind the products? Stop by our Microfactory, say hello to the person making your clothes, and see how the product is created.

FLAGSHIP STORE

OUR STORE AND A MICRO-FACTORY

Is the store of the future only online? We don't think so. Our new store at Grünerløkka in Oslo is an example of what we believe the store of the future should be. Yes, you can shop our clothes here, but first and foremost, we want to give our customers an awareness of craftsmanship through local production, maintenance, and repair in our micro-factory. At the same time, we aim to encourage everyone to use their clothes for a long time before buying new ones.
