CROWD MASK
The Crowd mask is a nonprofit project. We created a fashion accessory in the quest of making it more acceptable and seamless to wear respiratory protection. For each mask sold 5% of the cost will go to donating 100 masks to the elderly care systems in Sweden.
Crowd is made of high-quality soft stretch denim fabric, prewashed before production. It is designed to fit different face shapes and sizes and can be adjusted by the nose clip and elastic ear loops.

SUSTAINABLE
The fabric Crowd mask is produced in Stockholm upon demand in limited edition. It is made out of leftover fabric from our earlier productions. Instead of a chemical printing process, laser printing is used for prints on the mask.
FILTER
Certified disposable filters for the Crowd 2.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 6.1 and 8.0 masks. The FFP2 filter has a high bacteria filtration, anti-dust protection, and airborne particulates and pollution protection. (1st and 2nd layer: Non-woven fabric, 3rd layer: Melt blown fabric, 4th layer: Soft cotton).
Maintenance
The Crowd mask should be washed after use. Take out and dispose of the FFP2 filter used of the Crowd mask. Wash the fabric mask by hand with warm water and detergent. Gently and thoroughly scrub the inner and outer layers of the mask, the ear loops and seams as well as the inside of the filter pocket on both sides on Crowd mask Rinse in warm water. Hang to dry.
Masks without filter
The material for 1.0 and 3.0 are made of two different soft denim fabrics. Detailed material composition can be found on each product.
Masks with filter
All other masks than 1.0 and 3.0 include a FFP2/N95 filter and are made in a selection of different high quality fabrics. Detailed material composition can be found on each product.
Putting a mask on
Wash your hands. Place the ear loops over the ears one by one.
Make sure the mask fits closely over the nose, mouth, and chin. Fit and stretch the mask over the face by adjusting the ear loops behind the ears.
Adjust the nose clip and press it around the nose back. Fit the mask closely to nose and face.
TAKING a mask off
Wash your hands.
Take the mask off by the ear loops without touching the front of the mask. Wash your hands.
What is the reason to wear a mask?
The Crowd was born from the wish to show consideration. If by wearing a mask there is a chance to reduce the risk for us to get sick or spread the virus it is a very simple act through which we can help society and relieve the healthcare system not taking anything away from the system.
Many countries all over the world have called upon or recommended their citizens to wear a mask in addition to social distancing.
There are different studies and articles written on the subject concluding
that even a cloth mask will reduce the risk of getting infected, or for a person to infect others, if fitted closely to the face and used correctly. That getting sick depends on how many virus particles that you are exposed to. Whether the Covid-19 virus is airborne and will stay in the air for a longer period, how and how far it travels and, what would be a safe distance indoors or outdoors. As well as how washing with soap or
detergent can inactivate it.
It is up to each one of us to take responsibility for using our judgment of the best ways to stay healthy and keep our surroundings safe.
Note that the Crowd mask is not certified for clinical environments, such as hospitals or allied health clinics. Wearing the mask cannot remove the risk of infection. — While wearing a face mask continue to follow the guidelines of The Public Health Agency of Sweden.
