Lightweight and breathable cashmere for your feet

Italian craftsmanship meets one of the most precious cashmeres in the world

The wool of the cashmere goat, or Hircus, dates back to about 3,000 years ago in Mongolia, during the settlements of the first nomadic shepherd communities.

For centuries, Mongolians refined the production techniques of cashmere, making their product extremely valuable and sought after by international traders.

The Italian craftsmanship of this millenary yarn brings to your feet a precious product with unparalleled benefits.

A Hircus goat produces only about 150-200 grams of clean cashmere fibers per year, making its cashmere extremely rare and precious. The collection of this valuable wool occurs once a year, during the goat's molt, a completely natural and non-invasive process.

The result is a particularly soft and light yarn. Another advantage is that it naturally regulates temperature, offering comfort throughout the year, keeping feet warm in winter and cool in summer.

Despite its warmth, Hircus goat cashmere is highly breathable, which helps prevent moisture buildup and keep feet dry and comfortable.

Its fibers contain microscopic air chambers that retain warm air, offering superior warmth compared to other types of fibers, while remaining incredibly light and breathable.

This allows Hircus goat cashmere socks to keep feet warm, but without overheating.

Cashmere has a natural elasticity that allows socks to adhere well to the feet, offering optimal comfort and preventing socks from moving or slipping.

It is also hypoallergenic, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies.

The fibers of the Hircus Laniger goat offer a superior level of comfort, making these socks a real pleasure to wear in every season and on every occasion.

The production of this precious cashmere follows sustainable processing practices that are respectful towards the animal, the environment, and the workers.

Each purchase contributes to supporting environmentally friendly production practices and local communities.

Moreover, thanks to the Responsible Wool Standard, we ensure that we only work with responsible farms. While the Organic Content Standard certification guarantees a provenance from organic farming.

An oriental yarn, but also a true made in Italy excellence

The result is luxurious cashmere socks with meticulous details and comfort and softness not comparable to other cashmere socks on the market.

Where are the socks made?

Our socks are made in Italy, entirely sewn in Racale, an Apulian town in the province of Lecce, known for being the Italian capital of the hosiery trade thanks above all to the high skills developed by local craftsmen.

How should socks be washed?

Our socks are made with the best cotton in the world and are more resistant than common cotton or lisle thread socks.

However, for a better rendering of the natural shine and durability over time, it is recommended to wash by hand in cold water, with a non-aggressive neutral detergent.

Just leave the socks to soak in cold water with the detergent for less than 15 minutes, then rinse them, squeeze them, "beat" them and hang them out to dry.

The socks do not need to be ironed and can be worn as soon as they are dry. On the leg, they won't show any kind of creases or folds.

What are the shipping times?

After taking charge of your order, it takes about 24-48 business hours for the order processing and shipment.

Once shipped, the package will be delivered in 4-7 business days.

Certainly. At checkout, just enter the other person's name and address.
