FAQ
How do I make a return?
Please register your return here. In order to reduce unnecessary waste and overconsumption, we don't put a return slip in your parcel.
Once your return is registered, you'll receive a prepaid return label. Simply download and print your return label, package your return items safely, and hand in your return package to a courier near you (the courier appears on your return label).
As soon as we have received and approved your return parcel, we will either issue your refund, create your gift card, or send you your exchange item(s).
If you have requested a refund, this will be issued to the original payment method, with the return fee deducted. If you paid with a gift card, the money will go back onto the original gift card, with the return fee deducted.
Can I change or update my order?
As we process our orders quickly, it isn't possible for us to change the contents of your order. You can however give us a call at +45 78737270 or try to reach us by chat and we will do our best to accommodate any address changes before the order is packed for shipment. Please note however that this is not always possible.

What's your return policy?
We offer free return shipping for exchanges and store credit. For refunds we charge a location-based return fee to help cover the shipping costs back to Denmark - the return fee is for the entire return not per item. You can find the cost per country here. We will send you a pre-paid return label and deduct the return shipping cost from your refunded amount. The money will be refunded to the same method of payment you used to pay for that order, so if you paid with store credit refunds will go back to the gift card. If your refund is for all of the Goods delivered, then we will refund the original delivery costs.
You can return for a refund, exchange or store credit within 30 days of receiving your parcel. For orders placed in the months of November and December, you can return within 60 days of receiving your parcel. Please make sure all returned products are unworn, unwashed, and neatly folded in the original packaging including all tags. If you fail to do so, we will not accept your return.

Black Friday
When does the Black Friday sale start?
The specific dates of the Black Friday Sale will be announced shortly. Sign up to our loyalty program and newsletter for more information.
Orders placed before or after those dates are not eligible for the discount.
Can I use multiple discount codes on my order?
During our Black Friday Sale, all discount codes have been disabled. You can still use gift cards at checkout.
How will you ensure that Black Friday promotions align with your sustainability values?
At Organic Basics, we take our commitment to sustainability seriously, which is why we’ve always been cautious about participating in sales seasons such as Black Friday. However, the last couple of years we have been making an exception to ensure that products we’ve already produced don’t go to waste.
Despite our efforts to minimize overproduction, we found ourselves with surplus stock from previous seasons. We’ve donated items to great charities, hosted sample sales, and offered discounts throughout the year, but we still have some products that need a home. Rather than letting these items sit unused, Black Friday presents an opportunity for us to clear out excess inventory, giving these sustainable pieces a new life in your wardrobe.
We want to be transparent – this is not about encouraging overconsumption, and we will not be producing anything new specifically for Black Friday. Instead, the sale will focus on existing stock, primarily discontinued items or products from past collections. This helps us to move forward with a clean slate and continue to make sustainable improvements in how we manage our stock.
Will the discount still apply if I return an item after Black Friday?
If you want to exchange an item to a different size or color, you can always do this free of charge.
If you instead wish to receive store credit for your return, you’ll receive a gift card on the amount paid for the item + 20% extra that you can use on the entire website.
Can I return items bought during Black Friday?
Yes, all items can be returned as long as the original tags are still attached and the product is unworn and unwashed.
Will you have similar sales periods throughout the year?
We have two big sales periods each year - one in Summer and on during the Winter months. The Black Friday sale is the only one where all items get discounted.
In between the two sales periods, we do have exclusive promotions for our loyal customers. Sign up to our loyalty program and our newsletter for more information.
Can I be compensated if I purchased items right before Black Friday?
Unfortunately we won’t be able to compensate for orders placed before or after our Black Friday Sale. Discounts are only applicable during the time they are active on the website.

Made2Flow
Who is Made2Flow?
Made2Flow offers validated scope 3 environmental impact measurement solutions for the fashion industry. Made2Flow was founded in Germany by industry veterans and environmental experts. To learn more about Made2Flow and their scalable solutions for the fashion and textile industry, please visit their website.
What is the benefit of measuring the environmental impact of products?
The only way to understand the effect different products have on our environment is by measuring their environmental impact and comparing their environmental indicators Greenhouse gas emissions, water use, land use and more). Without measuring products’ impact it is impossible to draw conclusions nor to work towards a positive change.
How is environmental impact measured?
Impact measurement is based on the Life cycle Assessment LCA methodology in conformity with ISO 14040 and following the latest PEFCR guidelines. LCA is a scientific methodology for assessing environmental impacts of goods, processes or services. It tracks the condition of the environment by using environmental indicators, a methodical tool that uses measurable variables to describe a complex environmental issue. There are multiple different midpoints which serve as calculated environmental indicators, - the main ones are greenhouse gas emissions, water use, land use and more.
What constitutes a high level of personalised data?
Made2Flow aims to base impact calculations on data collected from tiers 14 (final assembly - raw material production). High level of personalized data includes the disclosure of the following suppliers: final assembly, fabric mills and dyeing partners and for each, understanding their energy & water consumption, waste management and machinery in use for producing the specific product.
What is the difference between primary and secondary data?
Primary data is data directly from the supply chain, whereas secondary data is data from other sources such as previous LCA studies, previously collected primary data, etc. Primary data enables the personalization of Life Cycle assessment.
What kind of data is being gathered?
Made2Flow gathers data related to machine use, energy mix, water use, waste management, chemistry, and more. Made2Falow tracks the different processes that took place across the supply chain with the goal to determine the inputs and outputs of each process.
How does Made2Flow complete data gaps?
Made2Flow uses validated secondary data based on previously collected primary data and published LCAs. Made2Flow’s algorithm completes missing data according to its relevance such as time, geography and technology. Continuous data gathering permits to use recent and relevant data both in geography and representative to the specific process and sub processes.
Is geography / location a factor in the calculation of GHG?
Different electricity grids, even within different provinces, are important factors that influence the final product's environmental results.
What are Environmental indicators?
A practical system to track the condition of the environment. An environmental indicator is a methodical tool that uses measurable variables to describe a complex environmental issue.
The main and most indicators are GHG (greenhouse gasses), water use and land use, but there are many more.
What does GHG mean?
Greenhouse gasses are those that absorb and emit infrared radiation in the wavelength range emitted by Earth. Measured in Kilogram Co2 equivalent Kg Co2-eq), they include gasses such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane.
What does Water Use mean?
The sum of water used in the direct-process or sub-processes (such as energy generation). Measured in cubic meters (m3).
What does Land Use mean?
The environmental impacts of occupying, reshaping and managing land for human purposes. Measured in square meters (m2).
What is Scope 1-3?
Brands often declare they have reduced or will reduce emissions. When talking about sustainable targets, it is important to understand in which scope the change refers to.
Scope 1 – All direct emissions from the activities of an organization or under their control. Including fleet vehicles, air-conditioning, leaks & fuel combustion on site such as gas boilers.
Scope 2 – Indirect emissions from electricity purchased and used by the organization. Emissions are created during the production of the energy and eventually used by the organization.
Scope 3 – All other indirect emissions from activities of the organization, occurring from sources that they do not own or control. In simple words; the supply chain, the emissions from making the clothes. 70-95% of the emissions of the fashion industry are in scope 3. Lack of traceability and inability to perform data gathering prevent fashion brands from calculating their scope 3 emissions.
How is the value chain in the fashion industry divided?
The value chain is divided into 4 main tiers, as follows:
Tier 0 - Direct operations of the brand such as stores, warehouses and offices.
Tier 1 - Final assembly of the items, often referred to as cut & sew facility.
Tier 2 - Preparation and production of subcomponents such as fabrics and trims.
Tier 3 - Process of raw material such as yarn production
Tier 4 - Cultivation, production and extraction of raw materials from earth, plants and animals, such as cotton cultivation, sheep farming or extraction of fossil fuels.
