Everyday life is grey!
That's what the three friends Sean Pfister, Fabian Knup and Claudio Lumbiarres thought in 2013 after a trip together. And that's when the vision arose to make the world more colorful with everyday accessories. A short time later, DillySocks was born.
Our goal is to make the world more colorful in a sustainable way. 🌎
The unique patterns of the socks, inspired by the colors and shapes of everyday life, are designed and created in Switzerland and produced in Europe. An equally important part of our product is its sustainability. All DillySocks are made from organic cotton and produced under the Oeko-Tex® 100 standard. This seal guarantees textiles that are free of harmful substances and impeccable in terms of health. So every pair of DillySocks is a statement for a more colourful, fairer and more ecological world!
At DillySocks, we firmly believe that each of us must take care of the environment. That we should all be careful with resources. And that we act as sustainably as possible in our actions as a fashion brand. We are convinced that sustainability must be pursued at various levels. Because that's the only way the world can continue to inspire us with its colors every day for a long time to come, and that's the only way every pair of DillySocks is a statement for a more colourful, fairer and more ecological world.
Why is the brand called DillySocks®?
We are often asked: Where does the name DillySocks come from? Colorful, sustainable socks didn't even exist in Switzerland in 2013. The sock market back then was still very monotonous and boring. Fun socks and funny socks with designs were nowhere to be found back then. We wanted to change this and said to ourselves: let's produce exceptional socks in every respect. The socks should have a cool design, be colorful and funky, sustainable and bring joy to people's everyday lives. Then we simply opened an online dictionary and looked up what extraordinary or special means in English. One of the results was DILLY. We liked the adjective DILLY straight away, and we quickly decided to call our brand DillySocks®. An absolute stroke of luck, as it turned out.
Don't be afraid of being different. Be afraid of being as everyone else.

Our values
Courage
Being courageous means adopting an attitude that may also go against conventional wisdom. We are only truly courageous when we are willing to remain true to our principles even in situations of uncertainty.
Sustainable
Our goal is a world fit for grandchildren. We only take from this planet what we can give back to it. For us, this means above all maintaining a balanced ecological footprint. We're not there yet, but we're working on it
Honest
For us, being honest not only means telling the truth, but also being transparent and remaining authentic. For example, we are not yet climate neutral, but we are working on
Creative
Our products are a creative achievement, and we want to ensure this achievement at all times. Creativity allows us to express our uniqueness. In a world that likes to see everything in black and white, we are the colourful, creative resistance.
Cosmopolitan
We are open to other cultures, ways of life and forms of love. In cosmopolitanism we see the colorful counterpart to simplicity, conformism, discrimination and ignorance.
Optimistic
We always act hopefully and communicate positively. We believe that optimism is the more sustainable, more colorful way compared to panic-mongering, black painting and pessimism.
