Product warranty
We strive to produce products that stand the test of time and bring joy to their owners for as long as possible. For this reason, we offer our products an optional extended 18-month product warranty.
The terms and conditions of the product warranty are defined below on this page.
What does product warranty mean?
Clothing is covered by consumer protection laws in Finland, so all clothing buyers are protected by the six-month statutory presumption of defect provided for in consumer protection laws (in Finnish). At Aarre, we aim to produce products that last longer than the 6-month statutory presumption under Finnish consumer protection laws. That’s why we offer our products an optional 18-month product warranty.
The product warranty covers all the clothing we manufacture that meets the conditions we have defined, except for sock products such as tights. The product warranty also applies to products purchased through resellers. The extended 18-month product warranty applies only to products that have been used for their intended purpose and cared for according to the care instructions. Customers must also provide a receipt that shows the purchase date of the product.
Our optional 18-month warranty does not replace the customer’s or company’s rights under consumer protection laws.
What does the warranty cover?
In the table presented below, it’s detailed what is included in Aarre optional 18-month product warranty. The various sections of the table will be further explained in detail later on this page. Please note that the product warranty does not apply to products that have been treated in a manner contrary to the care instructions. The stated 18-month product warranty is calculated from the date when the customer purchased the product.

Additional information
If the product’s zipper or any similar additional accessory breaks during normal use within 18 months of the purchase date, it is covered by the warranty.
Please note that the product has been used in a manner consistent with its intended purpose, and there has been no undue pressure placed on the zipper or other additional accessory (such as the zipper breaking due to an inappropriate size of the product).
If the product’s seams, for example, come apart or unravel during normal use within 18 months of the purchase date, the product is covered by the warranty.
It should be noted that the customer has chosen an appropriate size based on the available size chart to exclude seam separation or weakening due to an improper fit.
It is normal wear and tear for the colors and patterns of the product to fade with repeated washing. Such normal fading of colors and patterns is not covered by the extended product warranty.
The warranty also does not cover the normal wear of the material, such as reasonable pilling in areas of friction.
If you are uncertain whether the wear and tear of the material and colors can be considered normal, you can contact our customer service.
The extended 18-month product warranty does not cover holes in the product that have been caused by customer actions. These include holes and snags caused by sharp edges, zippers, or nails, for example.
The extended product warranty also does not cover abnormal wear and tear on the product, such as wear and tear on the knees from crawling or falling.
The product warranty does not cover products that have not been maintained in accordance with the care instructions. Deviating from the care instructions includes, for example, washing the product at a temperature or using a program different from what is recommended in the care instructions. To fulfill the warranty, the product must also have been stored correctly and carefully. For instance, knitwear should be stored flat to avoid stretching.
