Why buy new when you can repair?
In a world driven by throwaway culture, we at Laglappen choose a different path. We believe in caring for the things we love – and in the pride of being able to say, “I fixed it myself.”
With us, you become part of a movement towards more responsible consumption, where every repaired jumper, every mended shoe and every saved item not only conserves resources, but also tells a story.
76%

From idea to reality
The story of Laglappen
The launch of Laglappen.se
2020
Laglappen.se was launched in early February 2020 and was briefly known as laglappar.se. Our very first order was placed on 18 March by a woman from Övertorneå. We remain deeply grateful for that order..
The idea behind Laglappen
After completing a university course called Waste in Circular Systems at Kristianstad University, we realised just how heavily the textile industry impacts the environment. We buy vast amounts of clothing and discard them at an unsustainable rate. High levels of new consumption put pressure on land resources and generate significant emissions during production.
Our vision
A One-Stop-Shop for mending
Laglappen aims to be a one-stop shop for anyone looking for smart, easy ways to repair clothing. By offering a wide range of innovative textile care products, we hope to inspire you to take care of what you already own. We provide clear guides in both text and images, simple payments, high-quality products and a high level of customer service.
Timeline
History in Chronological Order
We’ve come a long way since our launch. Here are some key milestones in our history.
2020
Launch of Laglappen
On March 6, 2020, laglappen.se was launched, and the first order was processed later that same month. During the autumn, both the warehouse and head office moved from a living room to a dark storage unit without electricity at Shurgard in Västerås, Sweden. A few months later, the head office moved again to a former meeting room with lighting at the same facility.
2021
Establishment and first milestones
On February 1, 2021, the warehouse and head office moved from Shurgard to rented premises in Kopparlunden in Västerås, Sweden. The new facilities offered not only electricity but also heating, lighting, and ample space for future expansion. During the summer, the company’s first colleague joined, taking over both order processing and customer service. Later that year, a key milestone was reached – the highest number of “menders” in a single day.
2022
Expansion and growth
In the spring of 2022, the possibility for corporate purchases and payments in other currencies was introduced, marking a significant step in the business’s development. On May 22, the next big step was taken when Laglappen moved into larger premises along the E18 in Västerås, Sweden. The building was adorned with the Laglappen sign, making the company highly visible to passing motorists. During the year, the team also grew. Two new colleagues joined and took on key roles in customer benefit and warehousing, laying the foundation for the company’s continued growth.
2023
Nordic expansion
On March 15, 2023, laglappen.se celebrated its third anniversary. Just one month later, Laglappen.no was launched, and later that spring, the next step in expansion was taken with the launch of Laglappen.dk.
2024
Continued development and international expansion
The year kicked off with the launch of laglappen.fi. During the spring, a new visual identity was introduced across Laglappen’s Nordic sites, while both laglappen.se and laglappen.no celebrated anniversaries. In May, the transformation continued as the new visual identity was also rolled out on laglappen.dk and laglappen.fi. During the same period, another step in the expansion was taken with the launch of flicksachen.de.
2025
Depth and focus
After years of expansion, focus shifted to further developing Laglappen’s brand, product range, and customer relationships. The work was less about doing more and more about doing it right. The assortment was streamlined and refined, while existing products were improved and complemented. During the year, the repair range was broadened to include areas beyond clothing and shoes, with further innovations under development. At the same time, Laglappen was launched in the Netherlands, the UK, and Austria, while existing markets developed steadily according to plan. A large part of the year was dedicated to product development ahead of 2026 launches and to deepening collaborations with selected partners and experts. In parallel, more structured work on customer relations and communication began, focusing on longevity and relevance. As part of Laglappen’s values, sponsorship and support for charitable causes are a recurring part of the business. In 2025, we chose to support SOS Children’s Villages. By autumn, the warehouse, logistics, and organisation were well-equipped, providing stable delivery capacity and a foundation ready for further scaling.
