The origin of our socks

The manufacturing

Our socks are manufactured near Milano in Northern Italy. The second generation family operation ranks amongst today's most highly regarded sockmakers.

The workmanship

Only the highest quality yarns are used to produce your socks. They are dyed exclusively in certified Oekotex colors to ensure the dye will not harm your skin. The final product is then knitted as one piece, sewn together in the upper-toe area and ironed. From every shipment of yarn that arrives at the factory, 2 or 3 pairs of "test" socks are produced. The rest of yarn shipment is then stored, until the test socks have been extensively examined. The testing is simple: The head of production himself wears the socks until they've gone through approximately 20 washes. Those socks are then compared to socks from previous series for chafing and color-fastness. If the test socks do not pass the test, the yarn goes back to the mill.

Our shorties or sneaker socks, too, are made in Europe. They are made in the European part of Turkey.
