About Us

After learning that traditional pantyhose are petroleum products planned for obsolescence, we started Swedish Stockings with the mission to change and influence the entire hosiery industry towards sustainable production overall.

Our Story

Each year, 8 billion pairs of tights are produced, worn once and then discarded. This makes hosiery women’s biggest wear-and-tear clothing item.

We believe that the highest form of sustainability is longevity. Swedish Stockings’ mission has since the beginning been to drive and implement change in the entire fashion industry by showing others that you can produce sustainably, without sacrificing great quality and design. Our tights are produced from recycled materials and natural fibres from chosen suppliers in Italy. This ensures an unrivaled level in both quality and expertise.

We constantly strive to find new and innovative materials and sustainable production methods. Currently, our collection consists of more than 80% recycled materials. And aside from the materials used, our factories in Italy only use responsible production processes and renewable resources. Through our recycling program we collect old, discarded tights and turn them in to designer tables. The life span of the tables then adds a considerable number of years to the total life cycle of the hosiery.

Pantyhose are women's biggest consumable garment and also incredibly harmful to the environment. We started Swedish Stockings because we believed we could make a change. Sustainability and quality goes hand in hand. If we can create a product that women can wear for a longer time, then we can also buy less.
— Linn Frisinger and Nadja Forsberg, Founders of Swedish Stockings

Our mission is to drive and implement sustainable change in the fashion industry

Back when we were founded in 2013, we were the first sustainable hosiery brand worldwide. While we can still claim that, we’re adding to it by finding new ways to use nylon waste and creating new business models focused on circularity and becoming fashion’s preferred nylon change partner — continuing to drive our mission of inspiring change in the industry.
