Production
Our vision is to use sheep wool originating from Sweden and Gotland, in order to have the entire value chain, including the manufacturing of products, in Sweden. So far, we have not reached that stage, as there are suppliers in Sweden who can’t carry out the entire process from unwashed sheep wool to a finished product. But, we’re working hard to get there.
We are part of Sweden’s largest network of wool services and suppliers. During 2019, we participated in industry meetings to discuss the development of wool and its opportunities. We’re continuing to make contacts that in the future can make Elfvinge a full-fledged Swedish business.
Today we work with suppliers from England, Poland and China to find the best conditions for each product. Our connection to England can also be spotted in the product names, which are villages, towns and landscapes where there is plenty of sheep and wool production.
Wool. a natural material.
The inspiration for Elfvinge comes from the Swedish countryside and the many sheep that herd over green meadows. The wool is believed to be one of the oldest textile raw materials that originates from sheep, although wool can be found on animals such as alpacas, lamas and camels. Based on wool we have created collections that differentiate from products made out of e.g. leather and cotton. We’re striving to create sustainable and durable products, made of felt, that age with dignity.

From wool to product.
During the manufacturing process of felt, hot water is applied to layers of wool. The combination of heat, friction and moisture is what causes the wool fibers to lock with each other. By pressing the wool under high pressure in the final stage, a durable and natural material is created. Elfvinge intends to create products that uses as little chemicals as possible and minimize the usage of water. Felt has a long life cycle and can, when it has worn out, be recycled safely. Something that is important to us.

Smart, Simple, timeless DESIGN.
During our time as students at Uppsala University we produced our first computer cover based on our needs. We searched for a functional case that wasn’t made out of leather or silicon, and wasn’t unfashionable within the next few months. Beyond being able to store our computer we wanted to be able to bring chargers, gadgets and notebooks. The result are products made out of a 3 millimeter thick, grey felt. Are you missing colors and new collections? With our timeless designed products we believe you’re doing a contribution for the earth. The only earth we have, at least that we know of.
