Let’s face it, giving socks has often been perceived as the gift of last resort, when inspiration has failed us. Now, however, thanks to Corgi Hosiery, there is a range of luxury cashmere socks that would definitely not just be put into a drawer and forgotten.

Men’s socks as a gift:
As you can see from Corgi Hosiery’s website, at www.corgihosiery.co.uk, one of the choices for a rather special pair of cashmere socks is to have them monogrammed, with up to three characters. The socks are black, with a choice of either red or white for the monogram and Corgi Hosiery makes no apology for the fact that these socks are a luxury item – definitely not for everyday use!
Of course, there is a range of other men’s cashmere socks available, in a variety of colours, all with the hallmark quality of the finest selection of yarns and the expert hand finishing,ensuring the socks have the ultra-comfortable flat seams.

Ladies’ socks make a good present:
Ladies’ footwear is often more varied than a man’s, with knee-length boots, ankle boots, shoes and sandals all worn. Corgi Hosiery have recognized this fact and have a range of women’s socks in several different lengths and fabrics, suitable for all weathers and types of footwear.

It is possible to find pure cashmere socks, a mix of wool and cashmere, or wool and cotton socks. There is even a pair of women’s bed socks available, in a warm, comfortable mix of cashmere and cotton, for maximum breathability. No more cold feet keeping you awake at night!

If you are looking for socks for everyday use, then the added durability of the pure cotton socks, or a wool and cotton mix, is likely to be more suitable than the pure cashmere ones.

Environmental factors matter too:
Protecting the environment is of increasing concern on a global basis and Corgi Hosiery does what it can for the environment. This includes using natural fibres such as wool, cashmere or cotton for most of their products, rather than the more unsustainable fibres derived from oil, such as nylon. Where nylon is used, for extra durability, it is always sourced from the UK to avoid unnecessary carbon emissions from transport. Nice to know when you’re buying presents.
