Happy today or feeling 'socked'? Show it with the right smiley on your foot! Each high-quality package contains 5 different smiley sock pairs that perfectly reflect your mood. And as a little surprise, you'll also find a postcard with the message "all feelings are valid." The perfect gift! Our "Super Sustainable Socks" are free of polyamide and polyester – even the seams. With 97% organic Fairtrade cotton and 3% Roica, a sustainable elastane, they offer a particularly soft, seamless wearing experience.

• 97% organic cotton, 3% biodegradable elastane
• Construction: Circular knit
• Rib knit
• Size marking inside for easy sorting
• Vegan
• Free from harmful substances according to GOTS standard
• 100% cotton backing: Instead of synthetic materials, we use a sustainable cotton fleece for embroidery reinforcement, which has a small overhang to avoid waste – without affecting the wearing comfort.

  We recommend washing these socks on a gentle cycle at 30° to prevent shrinkage of the garment and maintain its beautiful appearance. Washing your laundry at lower temperatures and air-drying saves energy and money, helping you minimize your ecological footprint.

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 optimally, allowing us to speak with a clear conscience of holistically sustainable textiles.

• Through the Fairtrade Cotton Standard, we ensure compliance with social criteria in raw material extraction. Particular emphasis is placed on fair remuneration for cotton farmers. With every MELA item purchased, you support Indian cotton cooperatives with a Fairtrade premium. In addition, MELA is part of the new Fairtrade Textile Standard and is committed to living wages throughout the entire supply chain.
• The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) ensures that only ecologically optimized substances are used throughout the entire supply chain – from cotton cultivation to the dyeing of fabrics – and that social standards are met. This is monitored by independent certification bodies.
• Additionally, this item is certified according to the governmental textile label Green Button, which verifies social and environmental criteria at both the product and company level.

The socks were produced by our manufacturers in India.

At all our production facilities, transparent, friendly, and equal cooperation is key. Together, we have continuously evolved and optimized the quality of our products. Our manufacturers have already received numerous awards for their social commitment.

We ensure fair working conditions and a healthy work environment not only in the sewing process. From the cotton to the finished product, we can trace all components and guarantee compliance with ecological standards throughout the entire supply chain.

All our production steps take place in the countries where the raw materials originate. This helps to maximize local value creation and shorten transport routes.
