The Brand Transforming The Hosiery Industry

“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

Making Re-Use Of Discarded Materials

The founders created Swedish Stockings to change the hosiery industry. They found out that regular pantyhose come from petroleum and are made to wear out fast. Their mission is to promote sustainable production in this field.

Currently, their collection consists of more than 80% recycled materials. This includes recycled polyamide, elastane and nylon. Their tights made from Amni Soul Eco® biodegradable polyamide are biodegradable in landfill. They also use soft organic cotton, organic wool, and cashmere for a luxurious feel.

Made Consciously In Italy With Ingenuity

Swedish Stockings products are made in Italy. Italians have a long history of making high-quality hosiery. The factories they use also meet high ethical, social, and environmental standards.

The factories use energy from renewable resources, such as wind or solar. Most of them have their own solar panels, and produce between 35-80% of their own energy.

Recycling Club

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. Through the Swedish Stockings recycling program they collect old, discarded tights and turn them in to designer tables in collaboration with Swedish designer Gustaf Westman. The life span of the tables then adds a considerable number of years to the total life cycle of the hosiery.
