Thought Hemp Hero Socks - Navy

the brand story:

Thought is a brand embracing the concept of slow fashion; their clothes are made with the greatest consideration for people and the planet and they’re designed to last and to be worn time after time.

Thought work with a circular, closed loop system with aftercare and end of life considered for every design. Through small quantity runs and a closely considered production line, they turn their scrap fabrics into headbands, leftover yarns into socks and only use polyester that’s recycled. They source natural, sustainable yarns that use less water, fewer pesticides, and create less CO2. And upcycle leftover fabric at source so to reduce waste and create new products. Through their commitment to considered design, responsible sourcing and fostering change they continue to offer they same simplicity in silhouette that they haven’t lost since their original designs in 1995. This approach brings an air of timelessness and wearability to the pieces while allowing the customer to engage with the brand mission; to live more thoughtfully.
