Sustainable socks
Oh Bio Mio - socks made of organic cotton
All Dilly socks are made with organic cotton. We love organic cotton and keep the cotton content in our organic socks as high as possible - usually between 70 and 85%. The natural fiber is a real power player: It ensures a pleasantly soft feel, is a renewable raw material and is biodegradable. When growing our organic cotton, 100% of the time, we avoid the use of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilizers and environmentally harmful chemicals. The water consumption of organic cotton is also significantly lower than that of conventionally grown cotton. Yeeha!
Sustainable Gifts
Our DillySocks are the perfect sustainable gift. Whether as a birthday surprise or a sustainable gift for Christmas - fair socks are always a good choice - and thanks to the colorful designs, they are a hit with young and old, men and 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!
Sustainable socks made in Europe
Our colorful organic socks are produced in Portugal. A close partnership is important to us. Direct communication with our production and regular on-site visits ensure that high social standards are maintained. We attach great importance to fair working conditions in the production chain of our socks. In addition, local production reduces CO2 emissions and transport costs, which contributes to an overall more sustainable approach.
Our packaging
There is already enough plastic in the world! That's why we use biodegradable components for 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 additional outer packaging. When more protection is needed, we replace common plastic sleeves with compostable bags made of polylactic acid.
GOTS-certified socks
DillySocks has been GOTS certified since 2020. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is a certificate that takes the entire production chain into account, prohibits many chemicals and sets minimum social standards. This makes GOTS one of the world's leading global standards for organic textiles. By the way, with the help of our filters you can always see whether an individual product is GOTS certified or not. More background information on GOTS can be found here !
cotton socks with Oeko-Tex® 100 standard
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. This allows us to ensure that our socks are sustainable and free from harmful substances - in other words, that they are an ecologically sensible product. For us, clothing free from harmful substances is an unassailable basis for the production of sustainable fashion.
Durable socks with the highest quality standards
It's all in the mix. Our socks are made from a mix of organic cotton, (recycled) polyamide and elastane. The carefully developed material composition ensures that our colorful socks last as long as they promise. And we live up to our claim to guarantee high quality and durability of our socks through high-quality materials and an optimal material composition. Win-win!
Socks Upcycling - Our Sock Monkeys
No matter how carefully you plan a production, there are almost always pieces that are left behind. After extensive research into upcycling methods, we decided to turn leftover socks into cuddly sock monkeys that become loyal friends to many children.
