Our DillySocks are the perfect sustainable gift. Whether as an eco surprise for a birthday or a sustainable gift for Christmas - fair socks are always a good choice - and thanks to the colorful designs, they bring a lot of joy to young and old, men or women and everything in between. Our selection ranges from colorful individual socks to gift boxes and full-fledged sock advent calendars. It's worth checking out.
All Dilly socks are made with organic cotton. We love organic cotton and keep the cotton content in our socks as high as possible - usually between 70 and 85%. The natural fiber is a real power player: it is pleasantly soft to wear, is a renewable raw material and is biodegradable. When growing our organic cotton, 100% of the use of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilizers and environmentally harmful chemicals is avoided. The water consumption of organic cotton is also much lower than that of conventionally grown cotton. Yeeha!
Our colorful organic socks are currently being produced in Portugal. A close partnership is important to us. Because a direct exchange with our production and regular on-site visits ensure that high social standards are observed. We attach great importance to fair working conditions in the production chain for our stockings. In addition, local production reduces carbon emissions and transportation, contributing to an overall more sustainable approach.
There is already enough plastic in the world! That's why we use biodegradable components in the packaging of our high-quality socks. We print our labels on recycled paper. Whenever possible, our socks are shipped directly in the box and without any additional outer packaging. When more protection is needed, we replace standard plastic sleeves with compostable polylactic acid bags.
DillySocks has been GOTS-certified since 2020. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is a certificate that takes the entire production chain into account, bans many chemicals and sets minimum social standards. This makes GOTS one of the world's leading global standards for ecological textiles. Incidentally, with the help of our filters, you can always see whether an individual product is GOTS-certified or not. More background information about the GOTS is available here !
All of our DillySocks have the Oeko-Tex® 100 standard certificate. The Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is a certification that covers all processing stages for textile products. In this way we can ensure that our socks are sustainable and free from harmful substances - so all in all they represent an ecologically sensible product. For us, pollutant-free clothing is an indisputable basis for the production of sustainable fashion.
It's all in the mix. Our socks are made from a blend of high-quality organic cotton, (recycled) polyamide and elastane. The carefully developed material composition ensures that our socks keep what they promise for a long time. And we live up to our claim of ensuring the high quality and longevity of our socks. Win win!
No matter how carefully you plan a production, there are almost always pieces that get left behind. After in-depth research into upcycling methods, we had the socks that were left lying around: we process our remaining items into cuddly sock monkeys, which become loyal friends of many children.
