Socks: the little story

Like everything, socks have their little story. They find their origin in Syria, 2000 years BC. The first models were characterized by strips of fabric to keep the feet warm. Then, they become a sign of wealth.

After the Medieval era, socks were accessories in their own right and spread throughout Europe. Fabric socks were a real success, but Henry IV of England and the inhabitants of Rome had a preference for wool. During the 15th century, socks and tights became essential. High-ranking personalities want them decorated with embroidery.

The first sock knitting machine was created in 1589. However, industrial models cannot compete with silk socks. And the presence of a sock holder to hold them is mandatory, which is later replaced by an elastic band. From the 19th century, socks were also accessible to citizens. Women are also interested in it by seeing more aesthetic models.

Socks designed for professional use combine practicality and aesthetics. The choice of cuts and materials is very wide.
