SKN Design was co-founded by Christopher DeGregorio and Jennifer Stevenson as a personal and home accessory design company that integrates sustainability into its fresh creations as a standard part of the design process. SKN reusable shopping totes are currently available in designer boutiques and directly on SKN's Web site at www.getskn.com.. After their appearance in NY's Fall 2008 Fashion Week, SKN totes were named the "Most Useful" reusable totes by Style.com.
