We make conscious small batch productions which we further dye in smaller batches. This way we are able to stay mindful and avoid any wasteful consumption. The idea of keeping our pieces free of size limitations also comes from the same ethos to create staples that are versatile and least wasteful. The socks go through a slow artisanal journey being enriched by each craftsperson and the presence of their hand can be felt in the final pieces, which makes each pair unique and special. 

Wash care : we recommend hand washing the socks separately from your whites in cold water with a mild detergent. They can be machine washed in a delicate cycled too with chemical free detergents but machine washes age them faster. Best to line dry them in shade to preserve colour. 

Natural dyes, like everything in nature age with time and grow lighter. They can always be redyed and refreshed. 

The socks will develop some bobbles upon the first washes and wears only. This is natural and is a function of the short staple recycled fibres. This is not an indication of poor quality but merely the nature of the recycled raw material.
