2021: 10 years at sea

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

The journey has led to great friendships being build, 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.

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 big city boy Lints from Copenhagen one summer as he ended up at the Danish west coast.

Besides being a gifted artist he happens to be great company. The good vibes turned into sweet tunes, 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.

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.

2009: Forming a 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.
