Our partners
Giving used clothing a second life with Ninyes and Menddie
The longer you keep clothing in use, the more you save resources. That’s why Reima gear is made to last from one child to another. Together with our partners we also encourage customers to further extend the lifecycle of clothing by repairing and recycling.
The Reima Second-hand service facilitates the reuse of Reima products. Parents in Finland can easily sell and buy used Reima clothing and footwear in the Reima App and our web store, thanks to our partner Ninyes who enable this.
Accidents can happen when kids really put their outerwear to the test. That’s why Reima App now also entails Reima Repair – a service that helps parents repair their kids’ used gear. We built it in cooperation with the Finnish Menddie, a repair and care service platform. Using the service is fast and easy, and the repairs are done through Menddie's trusted service providers.

Accord: Improving health and safety in the garment industry
Reima is a signatory of International Accord, a legally binding agreement that helps to ensure no worker in the garment factories needs to fear fire, building collapses or other accidents that can be prevented with reasonable health and safety measures. Accord was originally founded in the aftermath of the Rana Plaza building collapse in 2013, to improve fire and building safety in Bangladesh garment factories. The new International Accord came into effect in autumn 2021, with the intention to expand health and safety programs to new countries.
