What starts off as an idea often times evolves into something physical.
IT'S TRUE LOVE... THE STORY BEHIND THE SCENES
Rose-Marie is one of the OGs at Blåkläder for over 10 years, starting with handling special clients’ garments a decade ago. Over time, she transitioned into the role of product developer, responsible for overseeing a big part of the range. In her role, she initiates the development and design process, collaborates with technicians, oversees prototypes and testing. Rose-Marie is one of Blåkläder’s key members who ensure that the final products meet the highest standards. She’s been, and continues to be, a true matchmaker at Blåkläder – making sure there are trousers for every type of legs out there.
“Comfort in movement, sitting and bending shouldn’t stand in the way of your workflow.”
COLLABORATIVE CRAFTMANSHIP
Rose-Marie shares Blåkläder’s philosophy on making trousers: Functionality, durability and design. At global workshops, we make sure that our trousers aren’t just functional but customised to meet the needs of real workers.
“We let workers try out the trousers to see what works best for them,” explains Rose-Marie. This hands-on approach ensures that Blåkläder’s trousers aren’t just good on paper—they’re the real deal, a true match, designed for workers in every industry.”
2 YEARS FROM SKETCH TO FIRST DATE
Behind every pair of Blåkläder trousers is a careful journey from idea to market. It takes about two years from start to finish.
“But it’s worth it. From finding the best materials to testing them thoroughly, we take our time to get it right. It’s all part of our mission to provide top-quality workwear for hardworking professionals.”
QUEST FOR THE BEST
With 46 sizes, including men and women, and 5 colours to choose from, you can be sure to find the one, like trousers with added storage, stretchier models for flexibility, reinforced ones for durability, and weatherproof pairs protecting from the elements.
Rose-Marie says, “It’s about designing trousers that feel like they were tailor-made. Whether you’re after trousers with or without nail pockets, in a simple style or a model with reinforced details—we’ve designed it.”
NEXT-LEVEL THREADS
Every fabric, seam, and zipper gets pushed to the at limit Blåkläder’s very own test lab. From abrasion tests and unlimited whirls in the washing machine to temperature trials. But there’s another important piece of the puzzle, too:
FLEX AND FLOW
“Comfort in movement, sitting and bending shouldn’t stand in the way of your workflow. Getting caught in loops and hooks, feeling restricted, like when climbing ladders, affects your safety, which is unacceptable for us.”
RETHINKING WORKWEAR
Blåkläder understands the importance of adaptable workwear in changing weather. As it gets warmer, work clothes need to change too. They need to be more breathable, have extra features, and use materials that keep cool.
