Responsible products & Responsible production
Consciously designed
We believe in slow consumption and therefore we want to offer frames that we know last for many years.
We design timeless eyewear with no expiration date.
We design seasonless eyewear that can be used for any occasion and loved by generations.
We aim to keep it simple and clean, to avoid unnecessary distraction.
The colors are earthy and chosen to fit any season and any occasion.
Carefully selected materials
For all of our products we look for materials with outstanding characteristics such as high durability, safe to use, innovative, great functions, and with low environmental CO2 footprint.
Our frames are made of certified recycled stainless steel; providing high strength, durability, endless recyclability, and low CO2 footprint. During its lifesycle stainless steel releases 9% less CO2 emissions than Bioacetate, which is another sustainable frame material.
Small quantities
We work with limited batches to avoid unnecessary stock. Our framecases are produced in small batches using every inch of the material. Even the smallest parts become something, like the nose protection inside the case.
Carbon neutral solutions
We are focusing on closed loop systems by using water conservation systems, green energy, and investing in innovative carbon neutral solutions.
Made in Europe
Skans is made in Europe to guarantee fair compensation and regulated working conditions.
Our frames are made in 95% recycled stainless steel with European sourced components.
Packaging
We have eliminated all unnecessary packaging, yet secured that products are well protected. Silk paper is for example replacing an inner product box.
Our packaging is plastic free. Outer boxes are made of recycled and recyclable paper.
We are shipping as compact and lightweight as possible to minimise our footprint.
