At Ørskov, we are proud to present the brand's latest news - that the factory has become GOTS-certified and our iconic string bag is now organic.
What is a GOTS certification? - GOTS controls ingredients from production through processing to finished product, and provides a guarantee for environmentally and socially responsible production to the final consumer.
The string bag dates back to 1969, when it first made its entry into Ørskov's assortment - and has been there ever since.
It all started when Torben Ørskov was going for a walk with his wife Kirsten Ørskov, at a market in a French town called Caen. At the market, Torben Ørskov observed how the traders all walked around with colored string bags for the groceries they bought on the market. He was very fascinated by the idea, and decided that he needed to know more about where these string bags came from. He found the manufactorer who was a local man living in the city of Caen. Torben Ørskov and his wife talked to the man, and were invited to stay with him for several days. In this way, the idea and collaboration to have stringbags produced for the Danish market as early as 1969 arose.
Since then, Ørskov Copenhagen's stringbags have been made in many new colors and sizes and have since been a huge success. You can get string bags in Heavy and Original - and with a long or short handle. Use them for shopping, empty bottles and glasses, gymnastics bag, beach bag or whatever you can think of.
