Lafuma: Repairability for life

The French brand is now offering free repairs directly in its Annecy workshops. Good for the planet and good for your wallet.

As part of its eco-responsibility and circular economy approach, Lafuma has been offering repair services for damaged products for several months now. The Millet Mountain Group brand found in an impact study carried out last spring that repairing and extending the life of a product reduced its environmental impact by 44%. It didn't take long for Lafuma to implement this measure, which is now offered to its customers.

In concrete terms, the two-year warranty on all Lafuma products remains the same, and continues to cover anomalies, manufacturing defects and abnormal wear and tear. As for the free lifetime repair, this covers what is known as "normal" wear and tear of a product and the hazards of normal use that can damage a jacket, pants or down jacket (tears, scratches, holes...). So, if you notice any wear and tear on any of your equipment, simply fill in a form on company website or take their product to be repaired to an authorized sales outlet.

Here's how to take advantage of this Lafuma reparability:

  • Need to repair a product? Fill in the form or visit an authorized dealer.
  • Send your product to Lafuma or drop it off at your dealer.
  • The Lafuma workshop will repair it if it is repairable.
  • Receive your repaired product at home or at your dealer's within 20 days. 

The brand, created in 1930 by brothers Alfred, Victor and Gabriel Lafuma, specifies that ". not all products, such as shoes, can be repaired. It depends on the material, the area to be repaired, etc. It also happens that a product has been through a lot and can't be repaired. Each request is analyzed by our workshop. "In general, jackets, fleeces, down jackets, pants, shorts, t-shirts, shirts, backpacks and sleeping bags are repairable.
