Merino wool socks
Socko pretty much encourage you not to buy their socks. At least, not more than once. They even provide a little darning kit to help extend the life of every purchase.
And you’ll want to keep these socks from their merino wool range in good nick. Available in a range of classic colours, they are softer than soft - the perfect sock for when you want to collapse on the sofa and let the world wash by (can we also suggest Ocelot chocolate to complete this mood?). They are produced with wool waste generated by the garment industry that would otherwise have gone to landfill.
We love Socko because this is proper ‘money where your mouth is’ stuff, not green wash from a fast fashion brand. How many other clothing makers want you to repair what you have instead of buying more? And we can’t think of a single other one who supplies you with the needle, thread and some instructions to make doubly sure you give darning the holes your best shot.
The hole in your sock might be a very small thing, but it represents a seismic shift in thinking and we’re happy to stand shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot, with them on this one.
