Corgi Hosiery
Corgi Hosiery is a knitwear manufacturer founded in South Wales, England in 1893.
At the time of our founding, coal mining was the main industry in Wales, and we started manufacturing handmade socks with the desire to provide warm long socks for the workers working there.
After that, sales in the United States were successful and the company gained a high reputation as a socks manufacturer.
In 1960, the company began producing intarsia knitwear using hand frames, and later added cashmere materials, and was recognized by high-end Parisian maisons.
In 1988, Prince Charles was granted a Royal Warrant (Certificate of Royal Warrant) due to his use of knitwear and socks for 10 years.
Even in the 21st century, while most manufacturers have moved to mass production using machines, Corgi remains committed to handmade products by artisans and undertakes the production of knit products for famous maison brands.

Please enjoy the uneven color transitions as a result of natural dyeing. The unique unevenness is the biggest feature that cannot be expressed with chemical dyes.
- Due to the natural dyeing, the color may transfer to your skin or onto shoes etc. the first few times you wear it. In order to prevent these problems, we have applied color fixing, but please be aware that this is due to the nature of natural dyeing.

・When the product arrives, the lye characteristic of indigo dyeing may float on the surface, causing an odor and a yellowish-brown color. In that case, please clean it as described below before wearing it. The scum will be removed and the vivid color that is unique to natural indigo dyeing will increase.
