About us
The ELSK concept is anchored in a dream of charting our own course and showing that in the fashion industry, there is not just space for, but indeed a need for a brand that dares to lead the way. You can read more about ELSK below.
Our journey
Our first seed was planted in 2013, when Lukas L. Leszczynski and Lars Riis shared a vision and a hope of creating better fashion.

Suppliers
At ELSK, our most important partners are our suppliers. That's why we've created an overview of all of them right here on this page.
Retailers
We have a lot of incredibly talented retailers across the country who are ready to show you what ELSK has to offer. You can find them below.
Materials
If we aim to burden nature as little as possible, it is essential that we use the most environmentally friendly materials while also being best suited for the particular product.
RE.ELSK
With RE.ELSK, we aim to extend the lifespan of our clothing and ensure that as little as possible goes to waste. If you have any ELSK clothing that you no longer use, it could likely be useful to others.
You can return the clothing to us, and we'll give others the opportunity to purchase what you've grown tired of. As a thank you for your help and effort, you'll receive a gift card that you can use on our entire webshop.

At ELSK, we have several certifications, including B Corp, 1% For The Planet, and the Swan Label (Svanemærket).
B Corp Certification
As a B Corp, the goal is not just to be the best in the world, but the best FOR the world. It involves a legal commitment to creating sustainable and positive changes.
1% For The Planet
As a member of 1% For The Planet, we donate a minimum of 1% of our revenue to environmental protection. It's our way of giving back to nature.
The Swan Label (Svanemærket)
The Swan Label is one of the strictest environmental certifications in the world, but it's a label primarily known in the Nordic countries.
The big ELSK paradox
We talk about producing products in a gentle manner. Making clothes that are built to last.
Both in terms of quality and design.
The big paradox is that the world doesn't need more clothes.
Especially not cheap clothes and fast trends.
Our responsibility
Dive into knowledge about our collaboration with the Danish Nature Foundation, beach clean-up events, materials, our choices and exclusions, as well as a guide to the certification jungle.
Den Danske Naturfond
We have purchased and thus secured over 32,424 m2 of good Danish nature in collaboration with the Nature Foundation.
Guide to the certification jungle
It can be a bit of a jungle to navigate what's good and bad, and who actually delivers on their promises.
Materials | Our choices & exclusions
Clothing production burdens the environment. A lot. That's why it's important that we consider carefully when producing our clothing.
Beach Clean-up
The purpose of beach clean-up is to reduce all the waste that ends up in our nature and remove some of the plastic out there.
What is the problem?
We take you into the heart of the textile industry and provide an honest and authentic insight into its reality. We have gathered a series of thought-provoking links to podcasts, articles, videos, and much more that give you a deeper understanding of the industry and the consequences of this fast-paced, consumer-driven fashion industry.

What do they say about us?
ELSK told in others' words. We've compiled a list of what others have said about us over the years
Yarn scraps
Unfortunately, it's common in textile production to have some waste of textiles/yarn that goes unused. Fortunately, we've used these scraps to create new, delicious products.
Impressive and sad facts
In the fashion and textile industry, there are some impressive and sad figures that we'd like to share here on the page. Figures that are often well hidden and forgotten.
RE-ZIP
The climate and the environment are unnecessarily burdened every time packaging ends up in the trash, and new packaging needs to be produced. That's why RE-ZIP has developed a circular system where packaging is reused again and again. By recycling, we give packaging a longer life, while also saving the resources that would otherwise be used to produce new packaging.
