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.
Baby Sock Wash Bags
Previously our baby socks were packaged in recyclable cardboard containers, but only about 1/4 of Canada's paper and cardboard waste is actually recycled. Switching to functional packaging with only a cardboard tag greatly reduces the amount of waste associated with the purchase of our product, and for us that's a huge win.
Why we don't make our socks in Canada
We didn’t always make our socks in Italy. In fact, our very first production in 2014 was in China (we went through three different manufacturers during the next year). By spring 2016 we decided to move our manufacturing and elevate our brand as a premium product in the process. We weren’t getting what we needed from the factories we were using and something had to give.
Organic Cotton!
Guess what?! We have been busy green bees behind the scenes (as usual) and are now ready to announce that all our new kid socks will feature organic cotton! As we sell through our inventory for past designs, these also will be replaced with organic cotton versions.
Combed Cotton
Friday Sock Co socks are made with Egyptian Combed Cotton, which may leave you asking yourself... what is this word "Combed" all about? Well, the short answer is this - Combed Cotton is a super soft version of regular cotton. Pretty simple right? But how does it get its super softness?
OEKO-TEX® Certified Yarn
Friday Sock Co. is proud to use a supplier that is OEKO-TEX® certified. In addition to this, they also go to great lengths to re-use and recycle all plastic components used during production.
