Longevity

We constantly strive to find innovative ways on our quest to be the most sustainable hosiery brand in the world. All with the same objective – less impact on our planet.

Our ambition is to improve the amount of wears you get out of a pair of Swedish Stockings tights.

Longevity

We design and produce tights to last longer. Longevity is an essential building block when working towards shifting the idea of tights being a wear-and-tear item, to a garment that you can wear time and time again.

A pair of tights are normally worn a handful of times and then discarded, adding to the other 8 billion tights already thrown at landfill each year.

Functional improvements such as extended toe reinforcements, soles on sheer tights and material technology are just a few of the upgrades we are constantly testing and improving to achieve more durable products.

Longevity is an essential building block when working towards shifting the idea of tights being a wear-and-tear item, to a garment that you can wear time and time again.

Core Collection

We constantly work to oversee that the upcoming collections add to the existing ones and are transcending trends to assure a timeless assortment in line with our brand values.

We continue to keep a greater focus on our core collection and have held the number of skus at the same level. It is important to not overproduce, and we do our best to only produce what we will sell at full price.

Use of our products

The emissions from the use of our hosiery in recycled polyamide primarily arise from the cleaning process.

When washing synthetic garments, tiny plastic fibers are released into the environment. We recommend to use a washing bag (for instance Guppyfriend) that protects the hosiery and reduces shedding. It filters out and collects the fibers that do break, preventing them from entering nature.

The Lifecycle

1. We produce from sustainable materials and natural fibers.

2. Responsible production process using renewable resources. 

3. We only use high quality materials, ensuring high quality products.

4. Using FSC-certified cardboard, our packaging is as small as possible and sustainable.

5. Through our Recycling Program, we make furniture from your old discarded tights. 

Recycling Club

To help clean up the hosiery industry and provide a better alternative to discarding of modern pantyhose, we started Swedish
Stockings Recycling Club in 2016. With the ambition to divert nylon tights from ending up at landfill, anyone can send us their worn, torn or used tights and we will grind them down and add them as filler material.

The tanks produced from your old hosiery and recycled fibreglass are used in a furniture collection designed by Gustaf Westman.
