The Origin of Our Socks and Underwear
We don't want to hide where our socks and underwear come from. Quite the opposite! We're proud to say that all of our products are made right nearby—in Portugal, to be exact. We don't have to go far for quality!
Portuguese Roots
All of our socks are knitted at the Rohner Socks production center in Barcelos, Portugal. There, state-of-the-art knitting machines ensure the highest possible textile standards.
Don’t let the French names fool you. Our underwear and T-shirts are also sewn under the Portuguese sun—at a family-run business in the same region.
In addition to high environmental, quality, and labor standards, this has the advantage of short transport distances. Much less energy is consumed, resulting in lower CO2 emissions. It’s a win-win.
A matter of principle
Since our founding in 1999, we have processed our raw materials exclusively in Europe throughout the entire manufacturing process. The yarns for our socks are spun, finished, and dyed in northern Italy. The socks are then knitted in Portugal. Strict environmental and labor regulations—which are monitored and enforced—ensure that no toxins enter the water and pollute the environment. Employee protection is also guaranteed. This is important to us.
The Origin of Our Yarns
We also make no compromises when it comes to the sourcing and origin of our yarns. Our Pima cotton, as well as our GOTS®-certified organic cotton, comes from Egypt. We source the processed merino wool from Australia. The wood for our modal products comes from Austrian beech forests that are sustainably managed. The polyamide comes from Spain and the spandex from Italy.
The Processing
The socks are knitted in one piece, then sewn together at the top of the toe area and ironed. Only high-quality, certified yarns are used. The Oeko-Tex label guarantees that the product is 100% allergy-tested and gentle on the skin. This is especially important for socks and underwear, since we wear them against our skin all day long and they are exposed to various environmental conditions.
