Glamorous and ecological fashion: a unique concept! Do you want fashion that doesn't sacrifice style and respects the environment? Chaussettes Orphelines offers you socks, clothing and accessories that allow you to combine style and values: all our collections are made from recycling, and not just any socks: sock recycling!!

We are campaigning for ethical fashion that preserves natural resources! The bottom line: - The manufacture of a garment (and therefore of a sock) is polluting. Cotton production depletes our water reserves. A pair of 60 g cotton socks requires 1350 litres of water, or more than 20 showers! 20% of the world's water pollution comes from textiles, due to dyes. - The end of life of an item of clothing (and therefore of a sock) is polluting. 90% of used or orphan socks are thrown in the trash. With an annual consumption of 300 million pairs of socks in France, that's 16,000 tons of waste. The equivalent of 16,000 cars that we would scrap! Our solution: use what already exists! Recycle! The most environmentally friendly textiles are the ones we don't produce! Wholesale: E: contact@chaussettesorphelines.com T: 01 42 51 64 05 Photo credit: Marcia de Carvalho
