Sock

What distinguishes our product deeply is the craftsmanship and the dimension of a small family business
You might find manufacturers that use the same yarns, but each shoe factory has its own personal know-how, its workmanship, its “secret” recipe, its spirit, which makes each sock unique and different. This is why our socks are small works of art, unique and secret, they can be imitated, but never equaled.
In many models, the linking is made by hand, a rare and precious traditional work.
High quality products, not made with industrial methods, but in a small laboratory in Brescia, where a family has been producing socks in a traditional way for over 40 years.
We want to refer to a tradition that started from afar (1958/1973); we want to reproduce the best of true Made in Italy, done in small shops and small craft workshops.
The product is created in this way, in small companies with a long tradition.
We produce 100% in Italy, using artisan and traditional methods, in full respect for people, for Common Good.
