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
• Processing: Circular knit
• Ribbed 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 sustainable cotton fleece to reinforce the embroidery, which has a small overlap to avoid waste - without affecting the wearing comfort.

  We recommend washing these socks at 30° on a delicate cycle to prevent the garment from shrinking and to maintain its beautiful appearance. Washing your laundry at lower temperatures and air-drying saves energy and money and helps minimize your ecological footprint.

MELA's clothing is triple certified with Fairtrade Cotton, Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and Grüner Knopf. In our opinion, the social and ecological aspects of these standards complement each other perfectly, allowing us to speak of holistically sustainable textiles with a clear conscience.

• Through the Fairtrade Cotton Standard, we ensure compliance with social criteria in raw material sourcing. Particular emphasis is placed on fair wages 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 advocates for 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 article is certified with the governmental textile label Grüner Knopf, which checks social and environmental criteria at both product and company levels.

The socks were produced by our manufacturers in India.

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

Not only in the sewing process do we pay attention to fair working conditions and a healthy work environment. 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 originate. This helps to maximize local value creation and shorten transport routes.
