WE TAKE CARE OF
People & the environment
For the environment: smaller footprint
The cultivation of textile raw materials, especially cotton, requires a lot of water and energy. The consumption of energy leads to CO2. In addition to the production of raw materials, every stage of processing plays a role. The best thing for the environment is for products to be produced in an environmentally friendly way and to last as long as possible. Accordingly, we develop products with a long service life and process the raw materials exclusively in Europe.
Packaging is made from recycled paper and cardboard. We have been consciously moving away from plastic packaging since 2019. Delivery in Switzerland is CO2 neutral because it is offset. The plastics we use to reinforce the products are also offset. The outstanding quality increases the lifespan of our products.
We take care of
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
We take care of
the processing in Europe
Since our beginnings in 1999, we have processed the raw materials throughout the entire manufacturing process exclusively in Europe. The yarns for our socks are spun, finished and dyed in northern Italy. The socks are then knitted in Portugal. The strict environmental and work regulations, which are also monitored and implemented, ensure that no toxins enter the water and pollute the environment. Employee protection is also guaranteed. That is important to us.
We take care of
Short distances & less transportation
As the distances are short, we save on long transportation routes. Long transportation routes mean more energy consumption, which in turn means more CO2 emissions. With the short distances in Europe, we save on transportation and emit less CO2.
We take care of
Packaging-free logistics
Our products can be ordered in different packaging sizes. This means that every product needs protective packaging to ensure that it reaches the customer in perfect condition. We have been packaging our socks in paper since 2019 and our underwear and T-shirts from 2023. The paper and shipping packaging is made from 100% recycled paper and cardboard and is produced in Switzerland. Please recycle the paper bags and cardboard boxes for the sake of the environment.
We take care of
CO2 compensation during delivery
All our products are stored, packaged and shipped in Switzerland. Within Switzerland, shipping is carried out by Swiss Post. Swiss Post strives to permanently reduce CO2 emissions. What cannot be reduced is offset. This means that the delivery of your socks, underwear and T-shirts in the domestic market is CO2 neutral.
We take care of
Few returns
We have hardly any returns. This is partly due to the underwear product category, but also to the permanent quality controls. Clear product descriptions and sensible marketing hardly ever lead to ill-considered impulse purchases that are corrected by returns. If goods are returned, we repackage them or pass them on free of charge to those in need.
