GENEVIEVE SWEENEY SALPAKA STRIPE MERINO WOOL ALPACA SOCKS IN LILAC MARL
Perfect for updating everyday wardrobes with unique romantic marl stripes, our Salpaka stripe sock is where heritage British manufacturing and contemporary design meet. Crafted by twisting together discontinued and end-of-line yarns, the result is a stylish blend of eye-catching, innovative and unique colour combinations.
THE YARN
Made from a soft, sustainable and durable merino wool blend and alpaca, these socks are custom-spun by Genevieve herself to create a selection of unique colour blends; in this case, a heather lilac purple merino wool with natural alpaca with deep burgundy stripes.
THE DETAILS
Each sock is finished with Genevieve’s hallmark care and attention: note the seamless toes which ensure lasting comfort throughout the day.
SUSTAINABILITY CREDENTIALS
To create the Samar sock, Genevieve approached a family-run mill based in Derbyshire. After spotting the unusable end-of-line yarns, decided to rescue them from simply being thrown away. Many of the yarns were small batches of discontinued colours, so Genevieve let her creativity run wild, twisting them together and producing unique blends out of otherwise wasted products. Twisting the yarns together can take hours and is something most factories wouldn’t have time for. Still, for Genevieve, it’s all about embracing the joy of slow manufacturing – and in doing so, creating something truly original and beautiful.
STYLE ADVICE
The Salpaka Stripe Sock ticks all the boxes: sharp, stylish and seriously comfortable. Let its striking mix of colours bring an uplifting finish to anything from traditional tailoring to casual jeans or joggers. This is the perfect sock that keeps you toasty as a bed or lounge sock but also durable to wear with your winter boots and keep your feet comfortable and warm.

I love my GS sweater: the wool has the perfect softness, the cut is great with everything, the colour is stunning.

Fabulous British made socks. Great quality, very reasonable price, quick delivery.
One of the best online purchases over the past few years and would recommend Genevieve Sweeney if you want high quality, interesting designs at an extremely good price.
The most ridiculously cosy jumper I've ever owned. I haven't taken it off since I bought it!
What a treasure to have something hand made in the U.K. A beautiful product that my husband loved and I’m sure will last a lifetime!
