In this article, I will introduce you to two sustainable Swiss brands that make sustainable recycled socks. What do I mean by sustainable recycled socks? First, they are made of organic and recycled materials as well as yarns which have a low environmental impact.
There are two sustainable Swiss brands whose socks I tried and keep wearing:
PASCALE CORNU (SWITZERLAND)
- My all-time favorite sustainable Swiss brand which I have been supporting for more than 6 years,
- socks are made of recycled cotton, polyamide, and polyethylene, and they are available in 3 colors,
- comfortable and soft fit – I have a shoe size 42,5 EUR and I can wear size 40,
- affordable (19 CHF), and they are made in France.

SWEDISH STOCKINGS (SWEDEN)
I discovered the brand during the COVID-19 quarantine. I like the fit but in the future, I will size up because I have long legs.
- The quality is comparable to Wolford or Fogal,
- the brand uses recycled materials,
- they collect old nylon pantyhose and recycle/ upcycle them into tables,
- their socks and stockings are chic and affordable.
