Eco-Friendly Scandinavian Brands You'll Love
From organic cotton Nudie jeans to colourful Marimekko homeware, here are the coolest sustainable Scandinavian brands to know.
By SILVERKRIS,
#1: Marimekko, Finland
High-quality clothing, bags and homeware in bold prints and colours define Finnish firm Marimekko. The company’s efforts towards sustainability include creating items that last, promoting responsible practices throughout its supply chain and being resource efficient.
#2: We Do Wood, Denmark
We Do Wood’s beautiful furniture is made from moso bamboo, which is grown in certified plantations free from chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers. One of the world’s most sustainable natural resources, bamboo reaches maturity in just four years – a fraction of the time it takes for soft and hard woods.
#3: Anja Hynynen, Sweden
Stockholm-based Anja Hynynen works with vintage fabrics and organic wool, linen, cotton and peace silk (harvested after the moth has emerged), to create gorgeous sustainable couture.
#4: Nudie Jeans, Sweden
Made from organic cotton, Nudie Jeans may be the only pair you’ll ever buy – the company provides free repair services. If you’ve really had enough of your jeans, the Swedish brand can help resell or recycle them for you.
