Unknown person donates millions of dollars to Fretex – NRK Østlandssendingen – Local News, TV and Radio

Brioni, Lanvin, Versace, Valentino and Ermenegildo Zegna. The labels on the dresses, shirts and sweaters donated to Fretex Majorstuen bear witness to a man with an animal taste.

Only one of these custom combinations can have a value between 50,000 and 100,000 crowns. A quick search shows that a new Brioni brand dress costs over 68,000 crowns.

The dresses have been delivered to the Alnabru terminal, but no one knows who is behind.

– The donor is anonymous. We may have some idea of ​​who this may be, but it will only be riddles, "said Kristin Hareide, chain manager at Fretex Environment.

– a great opportunity

The gift is the greatest value of an individual to Fretex. The dresses are cut in size 50/52. Hareide says that they are very grateful.

"We set the sales record of the time and sold hundreds of thousands of dollars Monday night," she said.

It will help the Salvation Army, among other things, help unemployed people.

"Donation is a great opportunity for us as a company, but also for customers who can not afford this type of costume and who now have the opportunity to create a rare channel.

The price that Fretex puts on the dresses varies between 1000 and 4000 crowns.

High interest

The sale began at 18:00 on Tuesday evening. Then they had been waiting in line for several hours. At the opening, the queue was very far from the district of Majorstuen.

Jonas Anker Solvang was one of those who aimed to negotiate.

"I've always been interested in costumes and I thought I could not miss it.These are expensive dresses and many of them are hard to come by.I checked online, and Brioni is, among others, completely exhausted, "said Anker Solvang.

He is supported by Comrade Sondre Hekneby. He thinks you can not find anything similar elsewhere in Norway.

"I mean it's unique and there's an opportunity only once," says Hekneby.

– Quality of another dimension

Marianne Jemtegaard, fashion expert, explains that it's Christmas gift for Fretex.

"It's also a pleasure for all Norwegian women who can now have a much better dressed man by her side at the next Christmas table," she says.

She explains that these are expensive costumes.

"We're probably starting at 25,000 to 30,000 crowns for a dress of this caliber, as we see here.

She nevertheless thinks that it's not unthinkable that a custom-made cashmere could cost several hundred thousand dollars.

"These are costumes that really show the status and quality of a completely different dimension of what you can buy in Norwegian stores.
