CORGI HOSIERY - Ammanford, Wales
The Heritage: Established in 1892 to produce thigh-high woollen socks for local coal miners, Corgi has evolved into a luxury powerhouse holding a Royal Warrant from the King. They still manufacture in the same Welsh town, using traditional hand-linking methods to ensure seamless toes.
The Verdict: The rightful heir to the throne. With Pantherella stepping back from UK manufacturing, Corgi is now the undisputed champion of UK-made socks. Their hand-linked toe is a critical detail - it means no ridge of stitching to rub against your toes, a comfort feature that cheap machines can't copy.
Core Products: Luxury cotton and cashmere socks and hand-framed knitwear.
