Longevity is the highest form of luxury
Tights are the plastic straw of the fashion industry. 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.
Founded in 2013, 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 by carefully selected suppliers in Italy, from recycled materials and natural fibres. This ensures an unrivalled 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 into designer tables and collectible art. The life span of these new items add a considerable number of years to the total life cycle of the hosiery.
Being the first sustainable hosiery brand worldwide, we’re continuously finding new ways to use nylon waste and creating new business models focused on circularity and becoming the fashion industry’s preferred nylon change partner.
In its mission to disrupt the disposable culture around tights, Swedish Stockings has learnt how to balance scale with sustainability.
