The cliché of grandma's stocking, it's over!

When we hear "compression socks"*, we often think of grandmother's socks, austere and unattractive. But this image belongs to a bygone era!

Increasingly aesthetic products

Today, manufacturers have taken up the challenge of combining health and aesthetics. Compression socks, often referred to as compression socks, designed to improve blood circulation and prevent discomfort, are no longer limited to their sole medical purpose. Thanks to innovations in the textile field, they have undergone a real transformation to adapt to the needs of comfort, health and style.

With refined textures, varied colors and contemporary patterns, they fit perfectly into an everyday wardrobe, whether for a professional environment or more casual occasions. This evolution allows you to enjoy the medical benefits without sacrificing style.

A product for every need: the different materials

The use of natural fibers as the main materials of compression socks has made it possible to reinvent these medical devices. Each material thus meets specific needs.

These materials offer not only comfort but also an aesthetic suitable for any occasion.

Cotton: resistant(1), it guarantees the solidity of the knit and increases the robustness of the sock. It is suitable for all seasons and outdoor activities

Wool: the absorbent, insulating and soft fiber1. Merino wool is an insulating and thermoregulatory material(1), which protects the legs from the cold and promotes the evacuation of perspiration(1). It is suitable for cold and wet weather as well as outdoor activities.

Linen: the natural linen fibre makes for a thin, supple(1) and thermoregulatory sock(3). The combination of linen fiber with viscose fiber provides a softness that makes the linen sock an ally for travel and the warmer seasons.
