We Make Custom Socks Fast & Easy

Our simple processes help you get the high-quality custom socks you need – without all the back and forth. We can supply easy-to-use templates (with some handy design do’s and don’ts) to help turn your ideas into sock designs. Or, just send us a vector file and a brief – including brand colours, logos, and preferred sock style – and we’ll create 3D renders or sock artwork for you to review, free of charge.

No setup charges and no design fees

Our pricing is easy and transparent, and origination costs (with the exception of logo digitisation for embroidery) are always included. Our extensive capabilities for production ensure a standard lead time for jacquard knit socks of four weeks and we only charge rush fees (always advised and pre-agreed), if a deadline cannot be met through production re-scheduling, to expedite the process.

Eco-credentials and Certifications

Sustainability is built into every step of our process. We take care to select materials with strong environmental profiles and offer certified yarn options such as GOTS organic cotton, OEKO-TEX, and GRS recycled fibres for applicable projects. Where relevant, we’ll clearly indicate certification details by product. Our production facilities are fully audited to meet the highest international standards for ethical and environmental responsibility.
