Socks

All of our socks are fully fashioned, which means socks that are knitted to shape so they can be connected at seams without cutting the fabric. Fully fashioning is more time-consuming than cut and sew. We do this because the process itself doesn’t create waste, as nothing needs to be cut off, and these socks are also more comfortable because there are no seams. The socks are sewn together using a chain stitch that connects the pieces into one. This technique ensures durability and comfort, as the seams are flatter. All of our socks are made at a family-run knit factory in the South of France near the Pyrenees. They work with craft methods rooted in the region and buy materials directly from breeders in the local region they have a close relationship with. Recycled wool comes from a spinning mill 10 kilometers away. The production is small scale, as the factory has about 40 workers.

Our socks come in variations of wool and cotton. Our socks come in recycled cashmere for colder weather. We also have our organic cotton socks that come in a classic cotton rib and a textured cotton bouclé. Using organic cotton is important for us as it supports good soil health and ecosystems. Organic farms also generally support more plant and animal species, supporting the biodiversity of farms. It relies on natural cycles and local conditions. We want to ensure that no harmful chemicals are used in the production process, water consumption is controlled, water is not contaminated, and workers' rights are also preserved. Organic cotton is great for socks because of its durability, breathability, and softness. The material is also hypoallergenic. Cashmere is a durable and resilient fabric that resists wrinkles and maintains shape well. The fabric is also warmer than wool. We use recycled cashmere because it allows us to use a waste material, and as the fibers are already dyed, the dyeing stage does not need to be repeated. Sorting experts combine these scraps to reach different color combinations through a mechanical spinning process.
