Multipack Socks White (10)

Discription

We call our socks "Super Sustainable Socks" for a reason. Because our socks are free from polyamide and polyester and are therefore super sustainable. We don't even use synthetic fibres for the connecting seams, as is usually the case. Unlike conventional socks, ours are made from 97% Fairtrade organic cotton and 3% Roica. This is an elastane that is harmless to the environment. Our socks also offer you a super comfortable, seamless feel as they are hand-linked and feel soft on the skin.

Material & Care

• 97% organic cotton, 3% biodegradable elastane
• Processing: circular knit
• Fine knit
• Vegan
• Free from harmful substances according to the GOTS standard

We recommend washing this sock on a gentle cycle at 30° to prevent shrinkage and to maintain its beautiful appearance. Cleaning and air drying your laundry at lower temperatures will save energy and money and help you minimize your carbon footprint.

Sustainability

MELA clothing is triple certified according to Fairtrade Cotton, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and the Green Button. In our opinion, the social and ecological aspects of these standards complement each other perfectly, so that we can speak with a clear conscience about holistically sustainable textiles.

• Through the Fairtrade Cotton Standard, we ensure that social criteria are adhered to when extracting raw materials. We place particular emphasis on fair pay for cotton farmers. With every MELA item you buy, you support Indian cotton cooperatives with a Fairtrade premium. MELA is also part of the new Fairtrade Textile Standard and is committed to living wages along the entire supply chain.
• The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) ensures that only ecologically optimized substances are used along the entire supply chain - from cotton cultivation to dyeing the fabrics - and that social standards are met. This is monitored by independent certification bodies.
• In addition, this article is certified according to the state textile seal Green Button, which checks social and environmental criteria at both product and company level.

Production

The sock was made by our producers in India.

At all of our production sites, the focus is on transparent, friendly and equal cooperation. Together, we have always developed further and continuously optimized the quality of our products. Our manufacturers have already received numerous awards for their social commitment.

We pay attention to fair working conditions and a healthy working environment, and not just in the sewing department. From the cotton to the finished product, we can trace all components and guarantee compliance with ecological standards along the entire supply chain.

All our production steps take place in the countries from which the raw materials come. This helps to maximize local added value and shorten transport routes.
