NY Times tested them and found them to be incredibly durable. Testers reported no snags or rips from cat or dog claws or scratchy rugs. They can vouch that they didn’t budge against brick, and they sustained only a micro-snag when they ran them up a zipper.

RECYCLING

To help clean up the hosiery industry and provide a better alternative to modern pantyhose we started Swedish Stockings Recycling Club in 2016.

With the ambition to divert stockings from ending up in a landfill, anyone can send us their worn, torn or used tights and we will grind them down and add them as filler material together with recycled fibreglass. 

The new, up-cycled material is then used to make tanks for use as oil and grease traps in the commercial industry. Glamorous? No. Sustainable? Yes! 2020 we also launched a series of tables made from the same material, using the same technique.

OUR FACTORIES

Our factories only 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. The remaining energy is derived from renewable certified third party. 

Our dyeing facility use equipment resulting in a 20% less energy consumption as well as re-using 50% of the water, whilst the remaining 50% is purified in a specifically designed pool system, leaving it fit to use again after one week.

Apart from this, the factories pay close attention ensuring to avoid overproduction, any leftover yarns are used to produce samples. They collaborate with specialised companies to ensure that all paper and plastic is purposely recycled.

Care Instructions

Please wash your stockings with the utmost care. Hand wash or wash on a delicate cycle in a garment bag and do not tumble dry or iron.

About The Brand

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.

Nylon yarn, which is currently used to produce most modern pantyhose, is created from an environmentally harmful petroleum-based manufacturing process that leads to damaging carbon emissions, more so modern pantyhose isn’t made to last. These harmful practices in the fashion industry are all too common. Swedish Stockings are proud to combine sustainability, quality and great design with innovative materials and production methods, leading the way to a better planet.
