SKALL values
Skall Studio is founded on some strong values, and we have always had a wish to be a change maker within our industry. For this reason, it is essential to us to keep challenging ourselves and at the same time stay true to our values. Learn more about our Skall values below.
NATURAL MATERIALS
We only work with natural materials such as wool, cotton and linen. We love the beauty of natural fibres which are also known for their many great properties. Also, these fibres are breathable and don´t shed microplastic. Learn more about our approach to fibres here.
MONO-MATERIALS
Almost all our styles are made in mono-materials. We prefer to work with mono-materials – materials that are composed of a single fibre – as it is easier to recycle these fibres.
ANIMAL WELFARE
We feel obliged to speak on behalf of the animals. For that reason, we never use fur and leather in our collections, just as the Skall sisters are vegetarians and do not own any fur and leather products. When we use the wool from the Danish sheep at Hjelholt Spinning Mill, we see the sheep as partners. For further info, we refer to our animal welfare policy which we will be happy to share on request.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Craftsmanship is essential to us. When we support craftsmanship around the world, we contribute to keeping these unique crafts alive and at the same time support cultures with strong historical roots. Living in a globalized world, we see this as crucial – from our signature knitwear made in Denmark to our collaborations with Indian weavers.
MADE TO LAST
Skall Studio pieces are made to last, both in terms of design and quality. And we are known for our classic approach – because a classic piece will last season after season. We have two main collections a year and a Classic Collection available all year round. When purchasing from our Classic Collection online, it minimizes returns and hereby CO2 as you will be familiar with your fit and size.
LESS IS ENOUGH
We design for a wardrobe that is made to last and prefer to have a small wardrobe with classic pieces in a good quality. Because less is enough – and because we believe fewer choices make life easier and contribute to a life in greater balance.
SKALL FAMILY
Skall Studio is a family run brand, founded by the sisters Julie and Marie Skall. Both sisters have big families that are closely intertwined, and they know the strength of strong family ties. This is not only reflected in the Skall office, where the Skall team is like a family. It is also reflected in our shows where the models are often friends of the house, family members or employees. It even comes down to our suppliers as we prefer to work with and support small family run businesses whenever possible as we share many of the same values.
FREE REPAIR
Should you need repair at some point we are happy to offer free repair on all Skall Studio styles, regardless of purchasing date. You only need to pay for the shipment. Please contact our store or customer service here if you need help or if you need guidance on how to maintain your Skall Studio styles. Note: In some cases, repair is not possible.
WORKING CONDITIONS
It is at the core of our business to have a close connection with our suppliers, and we always visit the factories in person. We will look to always offer an open, respectful, trustful, and supportive role to all the people to whom we are lucky to be in business with. Abroad as well as in our own office. Also, we engage in equally beneficial relationships with our suppliers and encourage them to work even more responsible. We are GOTS certified and several of our suppliers are as well. For further info, we refer to our Code of Conduct which ensures that all parties are aligned with our values as well as our terms and conditions.
SOURCING
To avoid unnecessary transport, we prefer to source our fabrics in the same country as they are produced in.
CERTIFICATIONS
We are GOTS certified, and our main suppliers are GOTS certified as well. In fact, 90% of our cotton styles are GOTS certified. It provides us with a transparent supply chain which makes us able to trace and document each step in the production. From fibers to final product. Look for the GOTS logo in the care label and hang tag of our cotton styles – or look for GOTS in the individual product descriptions on our website. Besides our Danish wool, our wool is either RWS certified or GOTS certified.
PACKAGING
Orders are always wrapped in FSC™ certified tissue paper and delivered in FSC™ certified paper bags or in FSC™ certified cardboard boxes.
