Bournemouth Born. Worldwide Worn.

We are a small family run business based on the south coast of the UK in sunny Bournemouth. We aim to do things very differently, and have several innovative products which we manufacturer. Our design and testing team is based in the UK, and majority of our factories are based in Turkey for our socks, and China for our plush items. We predominantly wholesale to a vast array of business types, but we do also sell directly online to the public.

We initially started this business because we thought that though there were many sock companies out there, absolutely none combined design, comfort and value – which are at our core. Value is a key theme with us, we do not make “cheap” items because they are to the detriment of what we are trying to achieve. We also ensure fair pricing through our supply chain because we want our partners to remain in business. We are also completely opposed to the use of child labour, and we routinely inspect the current Sedex report for every factory.

We have decades of experience between the members of the team, with experts in certain fields. We also always try and do things with a sense of whimsy because life is tough for every one and we try to be in the business of delivering smiles to both businesses and customers alike. This also helps shape some of our products because if you do not appreciate some fun, where will the smiles come from?

We also supply geraniums each year to the local community. It may seem strange for us to offer plants, but in 2020 the world was very strange and for us changed forever. Our factories were shut, yarn wasn’t being produced as the global pandemic took hold. On more personal level, the head of the family was in hospital at this time and we wanted to prepare her house by making the garden stunning. We also noticed that UK nurseries were on the brink of going under whilst gardeners couldn’t get to the garden centres, so we decided to bridge the gap. Unfortunately mum passed away from Covid and never saw the garden look so pretty. We therefore want to honour her memory by offering these plants yearly to our neighbours, and to see people smile from the joy of receiving these plants could be no better tribute to someone who passed in such undeserving circumstances. We have donated thousands of plants to the local community and continue to do so each year.
