However, under its sustainability initiative, Houdini extends a products lifetime under the theme of 'rental, repair, reuse and recycle.' It does so, by also selling used apparel products in its stores and partnering with ski shops for renting out gear.
According to Karlsson, the core values of the Houdini brand come from an aspiration to look for partners and suppliers, who share its mission and values.
