Slow-Fashion Sunday
The Black Friday Weekend sales wage on, but today we want to slow things down with a look at our product development ethos!
You've probably heard of "fast fashion," and the many environmental and humanitarian problems with clothing that is cheaply made and quickly discarded. The "slow fashion" movement was born out of efforts to push back, with clothing that is thoughtfully designed and constructed, so that it lasts for years.
Long before "slow fashion" was on anybody's radar, Sock Dreams was focused on creating styles that are both durable and stylistically enduring. We often hear from customers about how they've gotten years of wear out of our socks, and sometimes even over a decade!
Not only are our Sock Dreams brand products made to last, but we've been making many of the same styles for years, so when your socks finally do wear out, you can often find another pair of the same thing. Some styles, like our M Stripes and Ribbed M Stockings, have been fan favorites for over 20 years!
Yesterday we talked about how all of our house brand styles are manufactured in the USA at small mills. This is important to us because it cuts down on the environmental impact of shipping our socks long distances. It also means that we know about the labor laws and conditions in which they were produced.
You can read even more about slow fashion in our blog on the subject! And while we're at it, we'll gladly teach you to mend your socks, so you can keep wearing your favorites.
Do you have a pair of our socks that you've been wearing for years? We'd love to hear about it!
