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 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!
Our colorful organic socks are currently 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.
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.
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 !
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.
It's all in the mix. Our socks are made from a mix of high-quality organic cotton, (recycled) polyamide and elastane. The carefully developed material composition ensures that our socks last as long as they promise. And we live up to our claim to ensure that our socks are of high quality and long-lasting. Win-win!
No matter how meticulously you plan a production, there are almost always pieces that are left over. After in-depth research into upcycling methods, we had the socks that were left over: We turn our leftover stock into cuddly sock monkeys that become loyal friends to many children.
