Things we’re proud of:

Made with love, for life. The beginning of every new season allows us the opportunity to reflect on the past, dream up the future and remember why we do what we do. More than an apparel brand, we like to think of ourselves as a destination for cultivating creativity and embracing individuality. Our products are designed to accentuate style and natural beauty meant to be worn with confidence and pride. Knowing that fashion and sustainability go hand-in-hand, we understand that every action we take today has an impact on tomorrow. This is why we are committed to using sustainably-sourced, eco-friendly fibers in every product we make, allowing you to embrace your individuality without compromising your earth-friendly principles. Constantly evaluating the social and environmental impacts of our decisions, we are proud to be part of a global movement of businesses working together for a positive change.

We

recycled yarns.

Textile manufacturing produces 10% of the world’s CO2 and 100 million tons of trash each year. Thus we pride ourselves on using recycled materials in every product we produce, having a zero-waste policy when it comes to production and making sure those practices cross over to our office life.

We like to keep things local. Today, only 3% of apparel consumption is domestically-sourced. Fortunately, that trend is changing, thanks to American-made brands. In addition to making our socks right here in Hickory, North Carolina, we also own our own mill, which is almost unheard of in the sock industry! We knew this was the only way to ensure our products were not only of the highest quality, but also that our products will always be American-made. Solmate Socks emp

At Solmate Socks, we value people over profit. In addition to our sustainable production methods, we take great pride in caring for our employees, valuing people over profit. As ethical practices are paramount to our brand, we pay all of our employees living wages, along with generous medical benefits. We are proud to be one of the few knitting mills in the American hosiery industry that offers these types of benefits, and hope to inspire others to do the same.

we create the things you wish existed. Our incredibly talented design team draws inspiration from all around them. Whether it be a barren landscape (hello, High Desert Collection), a celestial horizon, an exhilarating celebration or even an unbelievable feat of strength, there is beauty to be found in all of these things. And it’s our goal to capture that emotion through a beautiful landscape of colors. Each product is hand-designed by our amazing team using the most perfectly-curated palette of recycled yarns. Every collection we produce is a reflection of who we are and what we love. And nothing gives us greater joy than to share that love with you.

KIDS & BABY SOCK SETS

For Kids

We know the struggle of missing socks all too well. To help conquer this problem, we created “pairs with spares.” Our baby socks come in sets of five (2 pairs + 1 spare) and our kids socks come in sets of three (1 pair + 1 spare).
