2024: The Gazelle Prize

In November 2024, LAKOR's five owners proudly accept the Danish newspaper Børsen's Gazelle award as formal recognition of the clothing brand's growth over the past 4 years.

It stands as tangible proof that the LAKOR ship has come through a few years of rough seas more than intact and that the crew is the best they could wish for!

2024: 10 years of Skipper's Pipes

LAKOR celebrates its 10th anniversary with Skipper's Pipes. A collaboration that began in 2014, when they together defended the Danes' beloved licorice pipe after an EU proposal to ban sweets that resemble tobacco products.

The licorice pipe, which oozes childhood nostalgia, was fortunately acquitted and on the occasion of the anniversary, a brand new anniversary collection is being launched, and a huge anniversary party is being held in LAKOR's stores.

2024: Head office with a view

We are running out of space in our old office: new employees have come on board, and the dream of a better view wins.

In late summer, LAKOR moves downtown Aarhus and to Marselisborg Marina amidst sailboats and seagulls. Now the inspiration flows directly through our windows with a view to sunrises and winter bathers.

2022: A bigger Warehouse

With increasingly larger collections and a designer who never cease to make new designs, LAKOR is moving into a much larger warehouse.

There is room to fish clothes off the shelves, send out orders - and eat liquorice pipes during the break.

2021: 10 years at sea

10 years has passed since our first t-shirts saw the light of day. Time flies when you're having fun! Now the crew counts 14 brave sailors across our main office, our own warehouse and two incredible flagship stores.

The journey had resulted in great friendships, unique designs brought to life and a lot of mandatory mistakes. But the ideas hasn't stopped flowing yet and we are certain that the first decade was only the first chapter of a story about a group of landlubbers setting sails in unknown seas.

2019: Jorgen Leth

An unforgettable collaboration, with an idol for any Danish cycling enthusiast.

He is the sound of summer. The Eddie Merckx of voices. The human incarnation of Alpe d'Huez. The magnum of mountain peaks. He is the water carrier. He is the captain. He is the race.

2018: LAKOR Shop Copenhagen

Two years after opening the store in LAKORs hometown, it was finally time to bring some west coast into the Danish capital.

The store is richly decorated with driftwood, a rowboat along with magical portholes showing silent seagulls on clear blue skies.

2017: Lints x LAKOR

We met the Copenhagen street artist Lints one summer at the Danish west coast.

Besides being a gifted artist he happens to be great company. The good vibes turned into sweet music, and a collaboration around whales and birds was created.

To this day Lints still helps out a lot - for example he painted most of the water color illustrations you will find on the website.

2017: Salling Fashion Award

Lasse and Jeppe just came to enjoy the show and get some free snacks and beer.

So when LAKOR won the main prize of the award show, they were as confused as the birds and whales on their shirts.

They celebrated with an improvised speech and drinks on the nearest bar. And in case you were wondering as well: No - you cannot pay with giant cardboard checks in bars. Which is probably a good thing.

2016: LAKOR Shop Aarhus

February 2016 is a milestone for LAKOR, as another friend, Rasmus joins the company to open the flagship store in Denmarks second largest city.

The decor is a stark contrast to the popular Danish minimalism. Besides the latest clothing from LAKOR, customers can buy anything from old pipes to knitted seagulls, exotic beers and local alcohols.

2015: Northside

LAKOR is invited to create a large chill area at the Danish festival Northside. The chosen theme is a tribute to Coastal Denmark.

Guests have the opportunity to hang out in a massive wooden ship, play flatfish table tennis or play in sandboxes.

LAKOR's character 'The Shipster' is also present as a life-size wooden figure. He ended up spending the night with one of the female festival-goers, but that's a whole different story!

2014: Skanderborg Festival

For several years, LAKOR designs and produces merchandise for Denmark's most beautiful festival. It's a festive occasion where, among other things, the collection's YES cap spread good vibes throughout the festival.

LAKOR also has a booth at the festival. The first year, hours were spent building a wooden sales hut in pouring rain. Other years, dams and moats are constructed to save products from sudden floods. Life in the woods is beautiful but on nature's terms.

2014: Westwind Klitmøller

One of the first big breakthroughs happens when LAKOR starts designing and manufacturing collections for the infamous Westwind surfshop in Klitmøller at the Danish west coast.

The designs combine nostalgia of the Danish fisherman culture with the modern surf culture. This hasn't been seen before, and the style quickly catches on.

The collaboration continues with new designs every season and if you visit a Westwind store you will find plenty of LAKOR products as well.

2011: The First Collection

Ambitions are sky high but practical experiences are in short supply. The first collection ends up a mix of many different ideas and had its challenges.

This doesn't stop LAKOR from throwing a legendary Give Back Party to celebrate the launch of the first Danish surf and snow brand with friends and supporters.

Shortly after a collaboration is formed with Hummel - the Danish Clothing Company - giving a lift to both competences and concept.

2010: Forming the company

After a few years with growing interest and larger collections, it is time to invite more people aboard.

Of all places, the alliance is formed on a nightly drive from a surfcamp in Spain towards the Swiss Alps. Lasse has selected two good friends Kasper and Jesper to help take the project to the next level.

Small talk and big dreams ends up lighting the spark, that later turned into the company LAKOR ApS.

2006: Doodles

In his childhood years, Lasse Kornum draws a lot. His pencil seems to have a life of its own, creating everything from cartoons to children's books, and eventually graphical designs inspired by surfing.

The latter opens an exciting universe, which his friends encourage him to print on t-shirts. He does, and the first batch is quickly sold.

In the design Lasse writes "LAKOR" - his username to the schools computers. A combination of his first and last name.
