Klippan

All texti­les are pro­ce­ssed by Klip­pan in the­ir own fac­tory in Swe­den. We know from the lam­b­swo­ol that it comes from New Zealand. Whe­re the other types of wool come from, such as the Meri­no, cash­me­re, Gotland and the eco wool, is not exac­tly mentioned.

One of the mate­ri­als Klip­pan uses is eco wool. To obta­in good wool, many she­ep far­ms tre­at the­ir ani­mals with pes­ti­ci­des. This is beca­use ver­min can crawl into the fur of the she­ep and affect the wool. After years of rese­ar­ch, some she­ep­far­mers came to the con­clu­si­on that it is not nece­ssary to tre­at the­ir she­ep seve­ral times with pes­ti­ci­des. This gave rise to eco-wool. They tre­at the newborn she­ep once with the nece­ssary pro­duct and that sho­uld suf­fi­ce for his who­le life. The envi­ron­ment in which the she­ep live has also not been tre­ated with dan­ge­ro­us che­mi­cals and anti­bi­otics. The brand also uses recy­cled wool.

The brand also uses orga­nic cot­ton and linen mate­ri­als, which are both natu­ral and biode­gra­da­ble mate­ri­als. The orga­nic and eco pro­duc­ts also ensu­re the use of non-toxic che­mi­cals for dying and finishing.

The brand has also redu­ced the­ir ener­gy usa­ge by 50% in the last 5 years, and the­ir pac­ka­ging is also now biode­gra­da­ble.

At Klip­pan every piece of mono-mate­ri­al is made. Recy­cling the­ir home texti­les could the­re­fo­re be possi­ble after a long lifespan.

Klip­pan con­duc­ts pro­duc­ti­on in Swe­den, and sour­cing in New Zealand, which makes the len­g­th of the cha­in quite long. They, howe­ver, do not men­ti­on the­ir tran­s­por­ta­ti­on met­hods, which makes a huge dif­fe­ren­ce on the­ir foot­print, regard­less of the len­g­th of the sup­ply chain. 

Ani­mal wel­fa­re is very impor­tant to Klip­pan. That is why the brand car­ri­es out regu­lar chec­ks on the­ir sup­pli­ers. As a cus­to­mer, you can be sure of cru­el­ty-free wool. Klip­pan also has the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 cer­ti­fi­ca­tes. The ISO 9001 is a quality mana­ge­ment sys­tem that offers a sys­te­ma­tic appro­ach to orga­ni­sa­ti­ons to achi­eve cus­to­mer objec­ti­ves and always deli­ver quality. ISO 14001 is an Envi­ron­men­tal Mana­ge­ment Sys­tem that measu­res and impro­ves the envi­ron­men­tal impact of organisations. 

This Swe­dish brand has been sel­ling inte­ri­or texti­les sin­ce 1879. You can buy blan­kets, pla­ids, pil­lows, table linen, home acce­sso­ri­es and chil­dren’s items. Each design is both time­less and hip. Klip­pan pro­mi­ses quality by using the sof­test and purest fibres. And for the chil­dren, the brand makes spe­ci­al use of eco and orga­nic wool. Super safe and super nice! They also pro­vi­de care ins­truc­ti­ons to keep the pro­duc­ts in use for as long as possible.

Klip­pan pro­vi­des a lot of tran­s­pa­ren­cy regar­ding the mate­ri­als, and pro­duc­ti­on and sour­cing which we com­mend; howe­ver, we would love to see the­ir cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­ons and other deta­ils regar­ding the­ir tran­s­por­ta­ti­on methods.
