Ferd plans to build over 1,200 hotels and restaurants on the 85-acre Marienlyst plot divested by NRK Copyright © 1997–2025 IPE International Publishers Limited Site powered by Webvision Cloud As I was settling into Oslo and familiarising myself with the city discovering where to soak in the sun and enjoy a waffle or two I found myself searching for the go-to thrift stores and after hearing all the rage about it from the locals In case you are looking for such stores as well — here is the list of my favorite sustainable and student-friendly fashion corners around the Norway's capital If you find yourself missing the oversized blazers from Zara or the comfortable 2 for 1 trackies at H&M one of the largest second-hand chain stores in Norway in locations all around the Oslo city centre: Majorstuen Nationaltheatret and its biggest branch in Alnabru Nationaltheatret and Ensjø refer to the donation centre(s) where you can also drop off your unused clothes My personal favourite location is the Fretex in Majorstuen where I bought myself a Norwegian jumper at the price of 149 NOK which could go up to 2000 NOK or more depending on its producer and spotted a pair of colourful Vans sneakers for 249 NOK which is usually on the market for around 885 NOK I would also recommend the branch in Alnabru take Line 1 or 2 towards Bergkrystallen or Ellingsrudåsen until you reach Helsfyr where you can take the 66 bus towards Grorud T via Ikea and get off at the stop named Fretex which should hopefully not be hard to miss — all in the Zone 1 ticket on Ruter where you’ll find a great selection of good quality clothes — all around the city centre If you’ve exhausted Finn.no or Facebook Marketplace and your efforts to sell pre-owned or buy second-hand clothing have been to no avail, then check out the online app Tise: as in “advertise” if you were wondering what Tise might mean in Norsk mobile marketplace for second-hand fashion The categories you can choose from range from Fashion & Wearables and Leisure & Hobbies if you want to broaden your scope Facebook can be a goldmine for Slow Fashion events all over Oslo but it can also be understandably difficult to hone in on the right pages to look for when the events are not particularly catered to students "The Fashion Archives" is one of Oslo’s largest unisex, secondhand, vintage & Slow Fashion indoor markets which usually takes place once a month at Kulturhuset, but this can vary. The latest event (Vol. 65) was scheduled for the 11th of March at Kulturhuset from 12-17 fashionistas and the environmentally conscious” alike There was also brunch available “if treasure hunting makes you hungry” and a DJ playing “sweet tunes” on site if treasure hunting made you want to dance You might even be able to find a fix-station from Fikse, a digital booking system for repairs, at "The Fashion Archives" x Kulturhuset events, but if not, be sure to follow the Facebook page to keep track of sustainability festivals fixing and repairing pop-ups and giveaways in and around Oslo as well as other locations such as Trondheim you can find clothes and larger accessories like scarves Not only can you exchange clothes at this event but also find a repair station where you’ll have access to a sewing machine or do something creative with design students — all in addition to bringing your own damaged clothing to repair you are able to drop off your clothing donations in exchange for the coupons you are to use on the day to make it easier for you to start browsing as soon as you arrive You can do this from the 13th of March until the 27th at the following locations: You can also find pop-ups such as “Brukthjørnet” at Kringsjå Student Village where everything is free everyone is allowed to collect either 1 big item or 2 small items at a time and you can find a couple of volunteers there to confirm this for you it is only open on Tuesdays from 14-17 and Saturdays from 12-15 Most of the goods you find in the Brukthjørnet have been collected from students who have moved out from SIO housing but some have also been donated from the local community or collected from one of Oslo's recycling stations You are also free to drop off any items you no longer use from kitchenware to sports equipment or board games down the ramp and turn left into the basement of Olav M If you find yourself missing these types of second-hand selling, buying and exchanging events, then you can also check out the online app: “Good on You” which features brand ratings on international articles and expertise on ethical and sustainable fashion Certain fast-fashion stores also offer repair services for their products. The store “Nudie Jeans” has a repair service in the Majorstuen location Some stores, such as “Livid Jeans” in Stortinget also offer one-time repair services as per their repair policy You can also find local repair shops via Repairable which is a service that allows you to order repair adaptation and maintenance of clothes and shoes online Another way is to book a consultation directly at 1 of their 2 workshops at CC Vest in Oslo and Fornebu in Bærum Choose to have your order delivered to your door sent by post or delivered in a store and your good(s) will be fixed within 1-2 weeks Prices online range from more or less 149-2299 NOK depending on the type of repair Their vision is that it should be “as natural and easy to get help with repair adaptation and maintenance as it is to buy new.” (Oslo) Location: Repairable CC VEST Lilleakerveien 16 Norway’s capital city is divided into 15 districts Managing a city of 600,000+ people is a complicated business! Like other cities of a similar size, Norway’s capital city is split into smaller areas for administrative purposes Land use, healthcare and social services are among the issues examined at the local level in Oslo The city also uses the smaller administrative areas for a wide variety of comparative statistics In addition to the city centre, Oslo has 15 administrative districts, or boroughs. Known in Norwegian as a bydel (plural: bydeler), each district is overseen by a district committee, elected every four years by city residents at the same time as the regular city council elections.
