The Basic socks are also made in Italy, and the toe is linked by hand, so you don't feel a seam. All yarns are dyed according to the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 label. This means no harmful chemicals are used in the dyeing process. Better for the environment, and kinder to your skin.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Basic and Classico?
The Basic line is made of combed cotton and is lower in price. Classico is made of Egyptian cotton. Both are cotton, but with an essential difference: combed cotton has a much shorter fibre than Egyptian cotton. As a result, the colour is less vivid and the sock can lose its colour sooner. Even so, most Dutch people wear socks made of combed cotton. Egyptian cotton has long fibres: that makes a finer, stronger sock that keeps its colour longer. So Basic is a comfortable, affordable sock for every day. Classico is the sock for those who want to enjoy it for longer.
Which sizes are available?
Basic socks come in 40-43 and 44-47. The size is listed with each product.
How do you best wash Basic socks?
Wash them inside out at a maximum of 30 degrees and let them dry on a rack. Preferably don't put your socks in the dryer. That way colour and fit stay nice for longer.
