Corgi

Colorful socks with interesting patterns did not originate from Sweden. Corgi , a 125 -year-old sock company , has been committed to creating practical and good-looking footwear as early as 1892 .

The factory is still located in Corgi where it was founded . It has been passed down by the family for four generations. The beginning of this family business originated from the small business of cloth merchant Rhys Jones . He purchased several second-hand knitting machines to produce socks for local workers. After the business stabilized, it expanded its customer base and began to produce more formal and elegant styles for local men to wear to church services on Sundays.

In addition to colorful and up-to-date designs, Corgi 's comfort and quality have always been the core of the brand. The brand insists on using Himalayan Cashmere wool. This precious wool only collects wool from the softest and cleanest parts of the sheep's belly. As the raw material for yarn, the processed yarn is very fine, with a diameter of up to 16 microns, or a quarter of a human hair.

Among them, a technology called "Hand Linking" by the brand is the most important. Corgi 's socks will be woven into a long tube first, and the parts where the toes are placed will be carefully sewn one by one manually. This technique has been passed down in Corgi for hundreds of years and is one of the most difficult processes for the brand to pass down. It takes several months to learn this technique.

Difficult and sophisticated craftsmanship and insistence on quality also allowed Corgi to obtain the royal certification appointed by the Prince of Wales in 1989. In the future, it has successfully passed the affirmation of the royal certification standards every five years. In the past 30 years, it has never been inaccurate. .
