GENEVIEVE SWEENEY SOLLINE SPARKLY SOCKS IN BLUE

The first sock Genevieve ever created was the Solline, a highly versatile colour-block style that’s proved popular with men and women alike. An instant way to elevate day-to-day looks, it showcases the signature GS attention to detail, while also ensuring lasting comfort and softness.

THE YARN 
The story of this sock began when Genevieve discovered a beautiful yarn that was unfortunately too fine for knitting sweaters. Undeterred, she travelled to Derbyshire – yarn in hand – to learn the art of knitting socks instead. The result was the Solline, a truly unique piece of craftsmanship that blends dark navy viscose cotton with bright electric blue lurex. It’s finished with a stylish scattering of grey and black silk tweeds.

The sparkly yarn detail within our GS socks has STANDARD 100 OEKO-TEX® certification means that the textile fibres have been extensively tested and declared free of harmful substances. As a result, they are deemed completely safe for human health.
The trims are knitted in premium organic cotton that has been certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard known as GOTS. This manufacturing model not only ensures safe and fair working conditions for both cotton manufacturers and textile chain workers, but a premium quality product free from harmful substances such as pesticides, fertilisers or defoliants.

THE DETAILS 
Thanks to its luxurious yarn and seamless construction, the Solline promises exceptional comfort and a beautifully soft feel against the skin. It’s also plated with lycra to ensure it can be machine washed without compromising either stretch or shape.

SUSTAINABILITY CREDENTIALS 
With the Solline sock, Genevieve continues to demonstrate her dedication to sustainability and slow, considered fashion. Rather than sourcing her production overseas, she works closely with a family- run, Derbyshire-based mill that manufactures in small batches to reduce waste. The design is crafted using a traditional machine-led method coupled with a hand-finishing technique that truly embraces the joy and beauty of artisan craft.

STYLE ADVICE 
A go-to option for formal dressing, let the Solline bring a unique sartorial note to traditional formalwear or even wedding tailoring. Alternatively, embrace its everyday luxury appeal by teaming with your favourite jeans.
