Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our products and services

Where do you source your wool, especially Merino wool? Can you provide certificates of origin?

We select premium Merino wool suppliers and can provide certificates of origin upon request. We also offer and can coordinate with third-party labs for thermal performance and other functional testing to ensure our products meet your specific quality and performance standards.

We have our own brand and exclusive designs. How do you protect our intellectual property?

We are fully committed to protecting our clients’ intellectual property. We can sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) at the beginning of our partnership to ensure your unique designs, brand identity, and proprietary information are never disclosed to any third party or used for other clients’ orders.

Does your factory have the capability and certifications to produce socks for special applications, such as for industrial safety?

Yes, we specialize in manufacturing a wide range of functional socks. We have the capability to meet specific industry standards and can provide functional recommendations for specialized applications, such as work safety protection. We are experienced in adhering to the compliance and testing standards our clients require.

What is your process if we receive samples or a bulk order with quality issues?

We maintain a strict quality control process. In the rare event that you find a quality issue with a sample or bulk order, please contact your account manager immediately. We will initiate an internal review and provide a transparent and efficient solution, which may include rework, replacement, or a refund, ensuring your concerns are effectively addressed.

We have extensive experience in international trade and can handle various shipping terms, including FOB and CIF. We can assist in optimizing your shipping solutions to reduce costs and shorten delivery times and can also provide support and guidance on trade compliance, customs, and tariff complexity to simplify your cross-border logistics.

Superwash vs non-superwash wool socks — which should my brand choose?

Superwash wool is treated to be machine-washable and shrink-resistant, ideal for everyday retail and consumer convenience. Non-superwash keeps the fiber in its purest natural state, preferred for premium and sensitive-skin lines but requiring gentler care. We produce both — tell us your target market and we’ll recommend the right finish.
