Man & environment
For the environment: smaller footprint
The cultivation of textile raw materials, especially cotton, needs a lot of water and a lot of energy. The consumption of energy leads to CO2. In addition to the production of the raw materials, every processing stage plays a role. The best thing for the environment is when the products are produced in an environmentally friendly manner and keep as long as possible. Accordingly, we develop products with a high lifespan and process the raw materials exclusively in Europe.
It is packed in recycled paper and cardboard. Since 2019 we have deliberately moved away from plastic packaging. The delivery in Switzerland is CO2 neutral because compensated for. The plastics with which we reinforce the products are also compensated for. The excellent quality increases the lifespan of our products.

A long service life by design
Socks live under adverse circumstances. They are trapped between foot and the shoe. There is friction when walking. The load is not the same in every area. So we only use first-class raw materials for our socks & underwear: cotton, organic cotton or merino wool. In order to achieve a high level of comfort and achieve durability, the products are skilfully reinforced.
We take care of
High quality raw materials
Our socks start where nature gives its best raw materials. Since fibers such as cashmere, merino wool or high -quality cotton only thrive under certain climatic conditions, we move them directly from the regions in which they develop their best quality. Our cotton and organic cotton are spun directly in Egypt and Turkey, while our finest merino wool is spun from South Africa and/or South America in Italy, from fibers that are obtained without mulesing. For our modal products, we use wood from sustainably cultivated, Austrian forests. Our noble cashmere comes from China, the polyamide from Europe, and Elasthan, better known as Lycra, is manufactured in Ireland.
Even more sustainable: our organic range

Processing in Europe
Since our beginnings in 1999, we have processed the raw materials exclusively in Europe over the entire processing process. The yarns for our socks are spun, refined and colored in northern Italy. The socks are then knitted in Portugal. The strict environmental and work regulations, which are also controlled and implemented, ensure that no toxins get into the water and burden the environment. Employee protection is also ensured. That is important to us.

Short paths & less transportation
Since the paths are short, we save long transport routes. Long transport routes means more energy consumption and more CO2 in turn. With the short paths in Europe, we save transports and spend less CO2 out.

A packaging -free logistics
Our products can be ordered in different packs of package. Each product needs a protective packaging so that it arrives perfectly with the customer. We have been packing the socks in paper since 2019 and from 2023 our underwear and T-shirts. The paper and shipping packaging are 100% recycled paper and box, and are manufactured in Switzerland. Please recycle the paper bags and boxes, for the sake of the environment.
We take care of
CO2 compensation for delivery
All of our products are stored, packed and sent in Switzerland. The Swiss Post is shipped within Switzerland. The mail strives to permanently reduce CO2 emissions. What cannot be reduced is compensated for. So the delivery of your socks, underwear and T-shirts in the home market CO2 is neutral.
We take care of
little returns
We hardly have any returns. This is partly due to the underwear product category, but also due to the permanent quality controls. Clear product descriptions and reasonable marketing hardly lead to rash impulses that are corrected by return. If goods come back, we pack them again or pass them on to the needy for free.
