Sock Redesigns 👩‍🎨🧦🤩

This has been a very exciting year so far for all of us at Friday Sock Co. - we’re growing as a company and as individuals! We’ve done many exciting things and this growth has allowed us to travel again to the factories in Italy where our socks are made, hire more awesome people, hold our first annual team summit, and partner with Canadian Down Syndrome Society to create a truly one-of-a-kind mismatched sock. You may be asking yourself what more could we possibly accomplish before winter rolls around? The answer, multiple sock redesigns.

We just released a new GOTS Organic Collection in adult sizes!

We've always used OEKO TEX® Standard 100 Cotton which ensures the cotton is manufactured in a sustainable and socially responsible way (it's also tested for harmful materials). Last year we also made a recycled cotton collection (supply chain issues made it impossible this year to make more of these recycled cotton socks). So, it was the perfect time for us to further explore using organic cotton!

Organic Cotton Kid's Socks

Children's skin is more sensitive than adults and can be prone to irritation. That's why it's extra important for their clothing to be super soft and free from any harsh substances. Because of this, we decided to transition our kids and baby collections to Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) Certified Organic Egyptian Cotton.
