The Founders

Everyday life is gray!

That's what the three friends Sean Pfister, Fabian Knup and Claudio Lumbiarres thought in 2013 after a trip together. And that's where the vision of making the world more colorful with everyday accessories originated. A short time later, DillySocks was born.

Our goal is to make the world more colourful in a sustainable way. 🌎

The unique patterns of the socks, inspired by the colours and shapes of everyday life, are designed and developed in Switzerland and produced in Europe. Equally important to the product is its sustainability. All DillySocks® are produced from organic cotton and under the Oeko-Tex® 100 standard. This seal guarantees pollutant-free and health-safe textiles. Thus, 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 use resources carefully. And that as a fashion brand, we should act as sustainably as possible in everything we do. We are convinced that sustainability must be pursued on various levels. Because only then can the world continue to inspire us with its colors every day, and only then can every pair of DillySocks be a statement for a more colorful, fairer, and more ecological world.

Why is the brand called DillySocks®?

We are often asked: Where does the name DillySocks come from? In 2013, colourful, sustainable socks simply didn't exist in Switzerland. The sock market back then was very monotonous and boring. Fun socks and quirky socks with patterns were nowhere to be found. We wanted to change that and said to ourselves: Let's produce extraordinary socks in every respect. The socks should have a cool design, be colourful 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 immediately liked the adjective DILLY, and we quickly decided to call our brand DillySocks®. It turned out to be an absolute stroke of luck.

Don't be afraid of being different. Be afraid of being like everyone else.

The Talents Behind DillySocks®

As a team, we have one mission: to develop the coolest products for you. We spare no effort and always go the extra mile. Our motto is: "Be creative and have fun."

Our Values

Courage

In our context, being courageous means adopting a stance that may even go against popular opinion. We are only truly courageous when we are willing to remain true to our principles even in situations fraught with uncertainty.

Sustainable

Our goal is a world fit for future generations. We take from this planet only what we can give back to it. For us, this primarily means maintaining a balanced ecological footprint. We are not there yet, but we are working on it.

Honestly

For us, being honest means not only telling the truth but also being transparent and authentic. For example, we are not yet climate-neutral, but we are working on it.

Creative

Our products are a creative achievement, and we want to ensure this achievement at all times. Through creativity, we can express our uniqueness. In a world that sometimes tends to see everything in black and white, we are the colorful, creative resistance.

Open-minded

We are open to other cultures, ways of life, and forms of love. We see cosmopolitanism as a colorful counterpart to simple-mindedness, conformity, discrimination, and ignorance.

Optimistically

We always act hopefully and communicate positively. We believe that optimism, as opposed to scaremongering, pessimism, and negativity, is the more sustainable, more colorful path.
