Dig out your holey sweater, worn out bike or a pair of shoes that need some TLC. At Last Week we will repair what needs fixing or teach you how to do it yourself. Let us join forces and be a stone in the shoe of Black Week and the constant need for "more".

A bit of cold weather is no excuse to put your bike away. Revir will help you get ready for fall and winter on two wheels by giving your bike the service or repairs it needs.

Get small holes, tears and loose seams repaired for free at Northern Playground. We will be accepting max. 100 garments per day – first come, first serve.
SAVE CLOTHES WITH PÅ STELL
Learn how to take best possible care of the clothes you already own by using the right soaps and tools.

PROFESSIONAL FIX
Hand in your damaged clothes, shoes and purses to Fikse or Beholde, or have them help you tailor any pieces that don't quite fit. They are also happy to give you advice on how to get your garments to fit as good as possible.
SURFACE COAT CLOTHES AND SHOES
Do you have shoes or clothes that need coating? Bring them with you to Last Week and get ready for the winter season by servicing them with Villmark. Jon Ola Bergaplass will be there with products, gear and guidance so that you can get the job done then and there.
REPAIR CLASS
Join Fikseklubben and let them show you how to repair the garments in your wardrobe so the result both looks good and lasts long. Sign up for the class in the program below.

Repairs don't always have to be invisible. Show the world that you repair your clothes with visible mending. Eva Kittelsen will teach you how to repair the holes in your garments in a creative and easy way.
PATCH WORKSHOP FOR KIDS
Free workshop. Let your kids be "slow fashion" designers and do something good for the environment by using their creative side to create and fix something they can be proud of.

WHY THE NAME 'LAST WEEK'?
One of the most important things we can do for the environment is to reduce consumption. To do that, we must use what we have longer and buy less. In the midst of the year's most busy time for discounts, sales and consumption, we are putting on a festival dedicated to maintenance and repairs. Together with a handful of other longevity enthusiasts we want to help you be able to use what you already own a little bit longer.
Last Week means many things. Last means something that continues in time, something that remains fresh or unimpaired, something that lasts. In other words, everything we stand for and want our clothes to be. And it is definitely not a coincidence that the festival is held the last week before Black Week.

Parts of the program are recurring and can be experienced throughout the entire duration of the festival, while others will only be arranged at certain times and days.

- Each day Northern Playground is offering 100 free repairs. First come, first serve!
- We will only be accepting simple repairs that take a maximum of 15-20 minutes (so we can help as many people as possible)
- We will be sewing as fast as we can, but can't guarantee that we can return your garment back to you the same day you deliver it to us
- Examples of what we can repair: Small holes, loose or torn seams, tears in down and shell products and holes in knitted garments.
- Examples of what we can't repair: Worn crotches, changing zippers, damaged GoreTex products (small tears are ok), redesign or alterations.
If the repair is too demanding to be done within 20 minutes, or we have no more capacity, you can check out Beholde or Fikse.

FINANCED BY OUR ENVIRONMENTAL TAX
Our vision is to reduce clothing consumption. Amongst other things, we pay an environmental tax on each product we sell. The tax is then used to save clothing and make sure you use what you have a little bit longer. Previously we have offered free repairs with the tax. Now we are going bigger than ever and financing the entire festival with it. Read more about our environmental tax here.
